ZERO SINGL AXIS Searches for machine zero on the axis that is specified in the input buffer.
HOME G28 Returns all axes to machine zero in rapid motion. Does not search.
SINGLE AXIS Either the X, Y, Z, A, or B axis can be returned to zero alone. The
HOME G28 operator enters 'X','Y','Z','A' or 'B', then presses the HOME G28 key.
Pressing HOME G28 without first entering an axis letter will cause all
enabled axes to be returned to zero.
If the chosen axis is disabled, the message DISABLED AXIS will be
generated.
CAUTION! There is no warning message to alert the operator of any possible collision.
For example, if the Z-axis is down in amongst parts on the table when X or
Y is zeroed a crash can result.
SECOND HOME This is an optional feature. When this button is pressed, the control will rapid all
axes (which have the 2ND HOME BTN bit =1) to the coordinates specified in
Work Offset G129. The sequence is as follows: First, assuming the X or Y axis
need to be moved, the Z axis is returned to zero, then the X and Y axes are moved
to their final positions, then the Z axis is moved to its final position. G129 Work
Offsets must be set to the desired values for this feature to work correctly. This
feature will work in any mode except DNC, just like the HOME G28 button.
