Handwheel assignment

You can traverse the axes in the machine coordinate system (Machine) or in the workpiece
coordinate system (Work) via the handwheel.
All axes are provided in the following order for handwheel assignment:
● Geometry axes
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
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.
