To adjust the X and Y axes measurement on a Start Shaphon CC-M3 CNC plasma, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the CNC system.
2. Reset the machine coordinates:
- If "do not use 0 point switch" is enabled in the "Machine" settings, press Reset to clear accumulated coordinates.
- If using 0 point switches, both axes reset simultaneously, stopping when one axis reaches the 0 point switch, then the other continues.
3. Manually align parts (plate calibration):
- Press direction buttons to move the torch and align one side of the plate.
- Press F4 to set the start point.
- Move the torch to align another point on the same side.
4. Define movement signals for X and Y axes:
- X-axis dual-drive signals:
- XD+ (direction +)
- XD- (direction -)
- XC+ (pulse +)
- XC- (pulse -)
- Y-axis dual-drive signals:
- YD+ (direction +)
- YD- (direction -)
- YC+ (pulse +)
- YC- (pulse -)
5. Adjust parameters using F6 and F8:
- Press F6 to enter the figure selection menu.
- Use direction keys to choose parameters and press F8 to confirm.
- Input values using number keys as needed.

These steps allow you to calibrate and adjust X and Y axes measurements effectively.
