Operational Overview
The Specified Offset allows the user to choose an exact offset from the Home Reference.
Once the home reference is detected, the device will do whatever is necessary to reach the offset position. This may be as simple as a deceleration to a stop, a continuation at speed followed by a deceleration to a stop, or a deceleration followed by a move in the opposite direction.
To enter a specified home offset, select the Specified Offset radio button. PowerTools Pro always displays the calculated offset value as a reference. If the home reference is detected before the axis has reached its peak velocity, the axis will still continue to the precise offset position.

If the Home Reference is detected after the axis has reached its peak velocity, the axis will decelerate to the precise offset position.
