Changing Axis Calibration Data
Use this procedure to change the axis calibration data shown in
Figure 40.2.
1. When the Axis Calibration screen is opened, data of the first axis of
the control is displayed. Data of other axes can be displayed by
pressing the {NEXT AXIS} softkey.
2. Either a new measurement point can be entered or an existing
measurement point can be replaced for the displayed axis:
Inserting Axis Calibration Points
To insert a measurement point:
1. Use the cursor keys to select the position where a measurement point
is to be inserted, then press the
{INSERT POINT}
softkey
(see Figure 40.2).
Important: The number of measurement points to be assigned to any one
axis may vary as long as the total number for all axes does not exceed
1001. If the operator tries to insert the 1002nd measurement point to the
table, the error message “MEASUREMENT POINT OVERFLOW” is
displayed in row 0 of the screen.
2. To replace stored travel data with new data, move the cursor keys to
the data to be changed, then key-in the new data and press the
{REPLACE VALUE}
softkey.
Deleting Axis Calibration Points
The following procedure can be used to delete a current measurement point
from the displayed table:
1. Use the cursor keys to highlight to the measurement point to be
deleted.
2. Press the {DELETE POINT} softkey. The control deletes the
highlighted point, then shifts all the points that were below the
deleted point up one line.
To store data, press the
{UPDATE & EXIT}
softkey.
