6. Datum distance setting page
This page is used to set from the dressing point to the datum distance _ Workpiece
rotation center (X) and the datum distance _ Workpiece datum point (Z).
PS：When setting, Please input the wheel data (wheel diameter).
Datum distance X
Datum distance Z
PS：When the dressing pen is replaced, the dressing seat is moved, the set
distance may have changed, be sure to make this setting and update the
set distance. The datum point Z is the data of each workpiece, If the
workpiece number to be used is different, set it again. The datum
point X is the distance from the top center of rotation where the
workpiece is mounted, and the datum distance X does not change even
if a different part number is used.
