Selecting an Axis
NOTE: Select an active axis before you select an MST command
(F1–F9). If no axis is selected, the CNC displays an Error
message that prompts you to do so.
Use the following keypad keys to select and activate the corresponding
axes:
Activates/Deactivates X-axis
Activates/Deactivates Y-axis
Activates/Deactivates Z-axis
Activates/Deactivates U-axis
Activates/Deactivates Spindle Axis
The active axis is displayed in the upper left corner of the General Status
area of the MST Screen.
Entering a Password
When you enter the MST Utility and press Balance (F6), Signal Gain
(F7), or Tuning (F8), the CNC prompts for the password. Type the
appropriate password and, press
ENTER.
The soft key activates. If the password has been entered successfully,
the CNC will not prompt for the password again, unless you exit and
re-enter the MST Utility.
Checking Axis Resolution (F2)
Refer to Figure 2, CNC Resolution Check (ResCheck) Screen. Press
ResChk (F2) to calculate the actual resolution for the active axis. In the
Graphics Area of the screen, the actual resolution and the resolution in
the Setup are displayed for comparison. In addition the screen displays:
The number of times the system tested for resolution (Total Cycles:)
The number of times that the encoder lines detected do not match the
number of encoder lines in the setup (Errors:). An error indicates that
something is wrong, either in the setup parameters or in the hardware.
The actual number of encoder lines found by the test (Encoder Lines:)
The resolution and counts per revolution found. (Encoder
Resolution:)
NOTE: Resolution should be four times the number of encoder lines.
