2. Reposition the wheel at the desired end point of the linear move by
using any of the following methods:
Jog the Axes in MANUAL mode
Automatically move the axes by executing a part program or MDI
program
Manually move the axes using any means as long as the encoder is
still actively recording the wheel position (see the documentation
prepared by your system installer)
3. Press either the {STORE END PT} or the {EDIT & STORE} softkeys
after the axes are positioned at the end point of the linear move. This
records the current wheel location as the final position for this
digitize operation.
The {STORE END PT} softkey does not return the control to the
program display screen. Pressing this softkey inserts the generated
block at whatever location the cursor was last at and allows the
operator to immediately begin entering the next block using this
same digitize feature.
The {EDIT & STORE} softkey returns the control to the program
display screen. The program block just generated is displayed on the
input line of the CRT and can be edited as covered on page 2-41.
The control then inserts this block at the location of the block cursor
when you press the
[TRANSMIT] key.
Important: To abort the linear digitize operation, press the exit
{
↑
} softkey at any time before you press the {STORE END PT} or
{EDIT & STORE} softkeys. The control returns to softkey level 4.
Then select another digitize feature (by pressing one of the softkeys)
or press the exit {
↑
} softkey to return the control to the regular edit
session.
