The calibration (.CAL) file can also contain axis orthogonality correction data. This is
similar to axis calibration. Refer to Figure 4-2.
For orthogonality correction, axis correction will not begin until the position
dependent axis completes a home cycle and axis parameter x71 of the position
dependent axis (“Enable orthogonality table” parameter[x71]) is set to “yes.”
It is conceivable that a single calibration (.CAL) file might contain eight sections:
four axis calibration sections and four orthogonality correction sections. Axis
calibration and orthogonality correction may be enable/disabled independently
using parameters x15 and x71 as appropriate.
The corrected axis position (in machine steps) can be observed in the Diagnostics
window.
