Configuring Axes
Chapter 3
3-2
The axes of the control must be configured in AMP through their
corresponding AMP parameters. Some AMP parameters are global
parameters. The value assigned to these parameters apply to all axes of the
control. Other AMP parameters must be set independently for each axis.
The Select Axis option of the Axis menu is used to select an axis for AMP
configuration. The parameters listed for each axis will vary depending on
the selected axis type.
Use this procedure to select an axis:
1. Press [F2] to pull down the Axis menu.
