Figure 41 tool Setter options
The Tool Setter Type options are manual or automatic. The Tool Setter/Gage-Block Position Type options are fixed
(e.g., a bed mill) and random (e.g., a knee mill). If fixed, the tool setter/gage block position should be determined. In
machine coordinates, the Z-axis position of the table should recorded and saved.
To use the automatic tool setter, the remaining tool setter options must be configured. A probe input must also be
wired in and setup as the Digitize input signal.

Global Messaging System
Global Messaging is used to setup user alerts or messages as well as to control I/O functionality based on certain
conditions. To access the Global Messaging System, go to Configure -> Plugins -> MachMotion and select the
Global Messaging System tab. The system allows the machine to watch for specified conditions, and take action
when those conditions are met. For information on creating, editing, or deleting a message, visit our global message
knowledge base online at: https://support.machmotion.com/books/knowledge-base/page/global-messaging.
