TOOL O FFSETS
Work offsets can be specified for the fifth axis B address.
The work offset display is found on the offset display page. If the fifth axis is enabled, setting 78, then addi-
tional data fields are made available for the fifth axis.
The function of the offset display page has been modified slightly to accommodate multiple axes. Only the
axes that are enabled are displayed on the work offset display. For example, if the fourth axis is enabled,
setting 30, and the fifth axis is not, then display will show X,Y,Z,A. In this case, all axes can be displayed on
the entire display. If only the fifth axis is enabled, then the display will show X,Y,Z,B. Since the fourth axis is
disabled, there is no need to display it.
If both A and B axes are enabled, then the last column of the offsets display serves a dual purpose. Either A or
B can be accessed in the last column. By using the left or right arrow keys, the screen cursor can be moved
into the axis field that is to be set. When the right most field is highlighted by the cursor and the top of the
column indicates A, then the values in this column represent A axis offsets. If you press the right arrow key
once, the cursor stays in the same place, but the column and its values will change to B axis parameters. You
can view and modify work offsets in this manner using the left and right arrow keys when both axes are en-
abled.
