Presets - HEIDENHAIN POSITIP 880 User Manual

Presets

The operator uses the PRESET function to establish a nominal position
on an axis to which to move. Use the PRESET form to enter the
desired preset value. The PRESET form allows for entering one or
more axis presets. However, multiple axis presets are entered into the
program as separate preset blocks. See Fig. I.44.
Entering a Preset
An axis preset involves entering a target value, selecting a preset type
(ACT or INC), and selecting a tool offset.
If the PRESET soft key is used, the cursor defaults to the
