Example A conveyor transports boxes. Labels must be applied onto these boxes. The
REGIST function can capture the position at which the leading edge of the
box is seen. Then, the OFFPOS command can adjust the measured position
of the axis to make it 0 at that point. Thus, after the registration event has
occurred, the measured position (seen in MPOS) reflects the absolute dis-
tance from the start of the box. The mechanism that applies the label can take
advantage of the absolute position start mode of the MOVELINK or CAMBOX
commands to apply the label.
