Conducting the reference mark search

With the help of reference marks, the unit can assign axis positions of the encoder
to the machine.
If no reference marks for the encoder are provided by a defined coordinate system,
you need to perform a reference mark search before you start measuring.
If the reference mark search after unit start is active, then all of the
unit's functions will be disabled until the reference mark search has
been successfully completed.
Further information:
The reference mark search does not need to be performed for serial
encoders with EnDat interface, because the axes are automatically
homed.
If the reference mark search is active on the unit, then a wizard will ask you to
traverse the reference marks of the axes.
After logging in, follow the instructions of the wizard
The Reference symbol stops blinking upon successful completion of the
reference mark search
