EDM Mode allows you to change the display mode for axis displays 1, 2, and 3 to display
three different Z-axis values during the sparking cycle. When you activate EDM Mode,
the DRO turns off the X and Y designations and turns on the leftmost decimal point for
each axis. The following table lists what each axis displays in Normal Mode and EDM
Mode.
