The calibration operation is very PAL dependent. See the documentation
prepared by your system installer for details on wheel calibration. A
typical wheel calibration routine would consist of these steps:

1.

Access the in-process dresser status screen and enter a new wheel
diameter value. If this is a new grinding wheel or a wheel that has
had a diameter change due to some non-in-process dresser operation,
you must manually measure the wheel diameter. If power to the
control was shut off and no change in wheel diameter has occurred
since the last in-process dresser operation, you can enter the value
from the “Current Wheel Diameter” parameter as the “New Wheel
Diameter.” This can also be performed automatically through PAL.

2.

Position the dresser axis until it physically touches the grinding
wheel. This can be performed by jogging, programming, using PAL
axis mover, or some other method devised by your system installer to
position the dresser axis.

3.

Indicate to PAL that it should initialize the in-process dresser at the
current dresser axis location. See the documentation prepared by
your system installer.
