A kinematic transformation is not active, i.e. the machine coordinate system and the basic co‐
ordinate system coincide.
The basic zero system (BZS) with the pallet zero result from the basic offset.
The "settable zero system" (SZS) for Workpiece 1 or Workpiece 2 is specified by the settable
zero offset G54 or G55.
The workpiece coordinate system (WCS) results from programmable coordinate transformation.
