The M.Z. Cnts (Machine zero counts) data field is rarely used to specify
an offset from the machine zero position created by crossing encoder
reference marks.
Custom machine zeroes are rarely used because datums are always

To specify a custom machine zero, highlight the M.Z. Cnts data field
and enter the machine zero offset in machine counts as determined
by: Machine counts = DRO value/encoder resolution.
