Moving to the Work Position
Figure 3-9. Example Work position
To move to the Work position, press the WORK button. If the current position before
pressing WORK is less than the Work position, the movement will be as follows:
1.
Movement travels along the Y-axis away from the operator and towards the microscope.
2.
Movement is then made diagonally (according to angle setting) along the X and Z axes
toward the sample.
NOTE: Step 1 occurs only if “Y-Lockout” is disabled. Otherwise, movement begins with
Step 2.

Setting Absolute/Relative Coordinates Mode
The RELATIVE button toggles between Relative and Absolute coordinate systems. The
default coordinate system on power up is Absolute, with the coordinates on the screen shown
in green. To switch to relative coordinates, press the RELATIVE button once. To reset the
current position to all zeroes, depress the RELATIVE button for 3 seconds or until a beep is
heard, and then release the button. This resets the current position to all zeroes.
Press RELATIVE once (briefly for < 2 sec.)
