3.4 OFFSETS Screens

Screens of actions executed on zero point and offset registers.

3.4.1 WORK OFFSETS Screen

In the general displaying area are offset values of G54, ..., G58, common zero point offsets, as well as of offsets programmed by means of commands G52 and G92. The coordinate values belonging to one zero point form a group. Along the groups the highlighting bar can be moved forward (in the direction of increasing coordinate system numbers) with the help of key

and backward with key

. Within the highlighting

bar indicating the coordinate system the inverse bar on axis addresses can be moved with keys

and . This bar makes it possible to select the wished axis within the coordinate system.

Actions of WORK OFFSETS Screen

Actions executed on WORK OFFSETS screen overwrite off- set registers immediately, how- ever this is registered by the pro- gram under execution only in case the program has been start- ed from the beginning or the program execution is interrupted (INTD state) and afterwards re- started. So the current coordinate system is overwritten in vain, the modified value will not be registered till the modified coordinate system is not used by the system. It also follows, that hasty overwrite of the coordina-

te system will not cause immediate problem during program execution, its effect may only be perceptible in case of the next running of program, so when overwriting it be extremely cautious. To the WORK OFFSETS screen the following actions and action menus can be
