Establishing A Repeatable Machine Zero; Switching Off The Nd 1200 - HEIDENHAIN ND 1200 - V2.16 Operating Instructions Manual

Establishing a repeatable machine zero

If your ND 1200 was configured to establish a machine zero upon
power-up, a message will be displayed asking you to cross reference
marks or enter hard-stop axis reference positions. The machine zero is
used by the ND 1200 to apply error correction data as measurements
are performed. To establish a repeatable machine zero you must
either:
U
Move the stage to have encoder reference mark crossings
recognized on each axis or
U
move the stage to the hard-stop reference position and press
ENTER on each axis when no encoder reference marks are present.
If the requirement to cross reference marks is bypassed
by pressing the CANCEL soft key, error correction data
that might be stored in your ND 1200 will not be applied.

Switching off the ND 1200

Switch the ND 1200 off. The parameter settings,
error compensation tables and recorded programs
that have been saved during operation will be
retained in memory.
Your ND 1200 might also have been configured to retain
measurement results across power cycles
