9.8 MANUAL TOOL LENGTH MEASUREMENT
A numeric value displayed as a relative position can be placed in offset
memory as an offset by using the soft keys.
To do this, first choose the tool offset screen. This screen shows a
relative position. Then, choose a reference tool, and manually move
the reference tool until it touches a machine-specific point. Next, reset
the reference position displayed on the screen to zero. Then, manually
move the tool to be measured until it touches the same machine-
specific point. At this time, the relative position display indicates the
difference between the reference tool and the tool to be measured. This
difference can be set as an offset.
Displaying the tool offset screen
To display the tool offset screen, follow the procedure described in
Section II-2.3 or II-2.5, "Offset Setting." The screen has three layouts
for tool offset memories A, B, and C. An example of memory A is
shown below:
