Conducting the reference mark search

With the help of reference marks, the unit can assign axis positions of the encoder to
the machine.
If no reference marks for the encoder are provided by a defined coordinate system,
you need to perform a reference mark search before you start measuring.
If the reference mark search is active on the unit, then a wizard will ask you to
traverse the reference marks of the axes.
After logging in, follow the instructions of the wizard
The Reference symbol stops blinking upon successful completion of the

If the reference mark search after unit start is active, then all of the unit's
functions will be disabled until the reference mark search has been
successfully completed.

For encoders with EnDat interface, the reference mark search is omitted
because the axes are referenced automatically.
