2.4.4 XYZ - Tool Mode
In XYZ – Tool mode, the manipulator moves parallel to the X-, Y-, and Z-
axes defined with respect to the tip of the tool.

The tool coordinates are defined at the tip of the tool, assuming the 
effective direction of the tool mounted on the manipulator’s tool flange is 
the Z-axis.  Therefore, the tool coordinates axis direction moves with the 
wrist.
Axis Operation in the XYZ - Tool Mode
When two or more [Jog Keys] are pressed at the same time 
on the membrane key, the manipulator performs a combined 
movement.  However, if two different directional keys for the 
same axis are pressed simultaneously (such as [X-] + [X+]), 
this axis will not operate.  The touch screen {Jog Keys} only 
operate one button at a time.
