This display unit has two display modes: the absolute mode (ABS) in which the absolute distance
between the datum point and the spot position is displayed, and the incremental mode (INC) in
which the distance between the previous machining position and the spot position is displayed
with a reset or preset operation.
Datum point Reset
The conversion between the absolute mode (ABS) and incremental mode (INC) can be made by
pressing:
To restore the original display mode, perform the same operation.
If the display mode selection key is pressed directly without pressing an axis selection key, all
axes are switched simultaneously. When both absolute mode (ABS) and incremental mode (INC)
are set, switching is based on the more common display mode. (For example, when X-axis = ABS,
Y-axis = INC and Z-axis = ABS, the X-, Y- and Z-axes are all switched to INC.) If the same number
of both display modes are set, switching is based on the higher order axis. (For example, when X-
axis = INC and Y- axis = ABS, the X- and Y-axes are both set to ABS.)
