The

cycle position will be zero when master cycle counting is restarted (see
The concept of an initial master cycle position may be useful if new master cycle position counting must be
restarted at a master position which is different from what needs to be considered the "zero position" of a
periodic cycle. The initial position defined with
complete, the master cycle position rolls over to zero. A negative value would be used if some master travel
were desired before master cycle position was zero. A positive value would be used if it was necessary to
enter the first master cycle at a position greater than zero.
For example, suppose

Rollover will occur after the master travels 13 more units, and the master cycle position would go to zero.
