Explanation of the Display Menus

The submenus for "OTHERS"
are described on the following
page.
This shows the current position of the tool (in coordinates) and the spindle speed.
The coordinate values indicate the home position as the origin point on the X and Y
axes, and the Z0 point as the origin point on the Z axis. "RPM" is an abbreviations
for "revolutions per minute."
It is possible to move from this menu to submenus for setting the X- and Y-axis
origin point (home position), the Z-axis origin point (Z0), the tool-up position (Z2),
the tool down position (Z1), and the spindle speed.
This sets the X- and Y-axis origin point (home position). Use the arrow keys to
move the tool to the desired location for the home position, and press the [ENTER]
key.
For details, see "Setting the Home Position" on page 10.
This sets the Z-axis origin point (Z0), tool-up position (Z2), and tool down position
(Z1). Move the blinking cursor (" ") on the display to "Z0," "Z1," or "Z2," align
the tip of the tool to the height to be set, then press the [ENTER] key.

"SENSOR OFF"
This switches on a Z0 sensor connected to the PNC-300. "SENSOR ON" is
