Mint Example:
HOME.2 = 0 : REM Home axis in a negative direction
PAUSE IDLE.2 : REM Wait for move to complete
POS.2 = -50 : REM Set axis position to -50
PRECISIONOFFSET.2 = -50.0 : REM If axis is at point A of leadscrew then the
REM offset is -50.0

Description:
Leadscrew compensation allows for a precision table, supplied by the leadscrew manufacturer, to be
given to Mint so that it will automatically compensate for positional inaccuracies along the length of the
leadscrew.
The data is specified in an array where the values are the actual positions relative to the end of the
leadscrew. The first element of the array specifies the number of elements in the precision table.
Mint Example:
DIM single(11) = 10, 10.04, 20.02, 30.01, 40.00, 49.99,
59.97, 70.00, 80.00, 90.01, 100.02
The array single contains the compensation data. There are 10 points in the table and the values are the
measured positions along the leadscrew.
For dual table compensation, two tables would be defined, one for forward travel and one for reverse
travel.
Given a leadscrew defined as:
where fwd x are the actual values for travel in direction from A to B and rev x are the actual values for
travel in the direction from B to A. For single table compensation, the fwd x values would apply in both
direction.
If only one table is being defined, then the reverse table is specified is NULL. Whether one or two
tables are used depends on the mode set with
PRECISIONMODE.
