I – 2 General Operations for VUE

Working without reference mark evaluation

The VUE can also be used without crossing over the reference marks.

8 Press the NO REF soft key to exit the reference mark evaluation

routine, and continue.

The reference marks can still be crossed over at a later time if it

becomes necessary to define a datum that can be re-established after

a power interruption.

8 Press the ENABLE REF soft key to activate the position recovery

routine.

ENABLE/DISABLE REF function

The ENABLE/DISABLE soft key, that is present during the position

recovery routine, allows the operator to select a specific reference

mark on an encoder. This is important when using encoders with Fixed

Reference Marks (instead of ones with Position-Trac™ feature). When

the DISABLE REF soft key is pressed, the recovery routine is paused,

and any reference marks that are crossed during encoder movement

are ignored. When the ENABLE REF soft key is then pressed, the

recovery routine once again becomes active, and the next crossed

reference mark will be selected.

Only cross over the reference marks of all the encoders that are

needed.

8 Once reference marks for all desired axes are established, press NO

REF soft key to cancel out of routine. If all reference marks have

been found, the VUE will return to the DRO display screen

automatically.

If an encoder is setup without reference marks, then the

REF indicator will not be displayed, and a datum set from

any axis will be lost once power is turned off.
