be displayed adjacently.

Defining zero offsets
For multi-channel machines, it is desirable to maintain the same specific axes in certain zero
offsets over all channels.
Both channels work on the same workpiece whose front edge normally has the value Z = 0
and which is defined using a set zero offset.
The position of the origin on the counterspindle is also defined using a set zero offset. This
depends, however, also on the position of the Z3 motion axis of the counterspindle that exists
just once.
