Software option
You require the "Extended operator functions" option for the handwheel offset

When traversing, the geometry axes taken into account the actual machine status (e.g.
rotations, transformations). All channel machine axes, which are currently assigned to the
geometry axis, are in this case simultaneously traversed.
Channel machine axes are assigned to the particular channel. They can only be
individually traversed, i.e. the actual machine state has no influence.
The also applies to channel machine axes, that are declared as geometry axes.
