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 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

Turning – Manual operation | Conducting the reference mark search
If the unit is configured with the Turning application mode and a
spindle axis S, then you must define an upper limit for the spindle
speed prior to a possible machining operation.
Further information: "Defining the upper limit for the spindle speed (in
the Turning application mode)", Page 223
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: "Reference marks (Encoder)", Page 336
The reference mark search does not need to be performed for serial
encoders with EnDat interface, because the axes are automatically
homed.
