Activating the reference mark search
The product uses the reference marks to reference the machine table to the
machine. If the reference mark search has been activated, a wizard appears on
startup of the product and asks the user to move the axes for the reference mark
search.
Prerequisite: The installed encoders have reference marks that have been
configured in the axis parameters.
For encoders with EnDat interface, the reference mark search is omitted
because the axes are referenced automatically.
The automatic reference mark search on startup of the product can be
canceled depending on the configuration.

4.7 Configuring M functions
Depending on the configuration of the machine tool, you can also use M functions
(machine functions) for machining operations. You can use M functions to influence
the following factors:
Functions on the machine tool, such as switching the spindle rotation and
coolant on and off
The program execution
You can use all M functions as block type in programming and program run.
Further information: "Machine functions", Page 256
A graphic can also be optionally displayed for calling the M functions in the program
run.
Further information: "Configuring M functions", Page 148
The product differentiates between standard M functions and the manufacturer-
specific M functions.
