Orientation Of The Nc1 System - Renishaw NC1 Programming Manual

Orientation of the NC1 system

Throughout this guide it has been assumed that the NC1 system is
installed with the laser beam parallel to the X-axis. Length
measurements are made from the Z-axis and radial measurements
are made from the Y-axis.
If your system has been installed in a different orientation, you must
make the necessary adjustments to the axes used for length
measurement and radial measurement (for details, see manually-set
parameters RENC[21], RENC[22], and RENC[23].
