3.1.3. Offset Window
In this window, you can set workpiece offset and public offset, which is good for
programming and shortening axis moving distance:
•Workpiece offset: it shows the distance of the workpiece origin relative to the
machine origin.
•Public offset (external offset): it records temporary adjustment value of the
workpiece origin and it can only be modified manually.
The relationship among workpiece offset, tool offset and public offset is as follows:
Workpiece Coordinate = Machine Coordinate —Workpiece Offset —Public O
ffset —Tool Offset
With Automatic Layer Compensation enabled, the relationship turns to:
Workpiece Coordinate = Machine Coordinate —Workpiece Offset —Public O
ffset —Tool Offset —Real-time Length Compensation
Among them, Tool Offset can be set by switching to Param window and modifying
Tool parameters.
To set workpiece offset and public offset, do the following:
1. To set workpiece offset, do the following:
1. Click the workpiece coordinate system to select a workpiece coordinate
system:
The selected coordinate system turns to orange.
2. Click the input box of related axis and set a value.
3. Click Set to set the machine coordinates of the current point to the offset.

2. To set public offset, do the following:
1. To set public offset for X-axis/Y-axis, click the input box of related axis
and set a value:
2. To set public offset for Z-axis, do one of the following:
•Click the input box of Z-axis and set a value.
•Click the input box of Scale, set a value and do one of the
following:
–Click Deepen. The workpiece origin of Z-axis moves down
the corresponding distance.
–Click Lift. The workpiece origin of Z-axis moves up the
corresponding distance.
3.1.4. HD List Window
This window includes the following interfaces:
•Local interface
It shows the list of local program files under the root directory D:\NcFiles.
•USB interface
It shows the list of program files from removable flash disks both under the
root directory and subdirectory folders.
•Wizard interface
You can generate program files from the following program wizards:

3.1.5. Center Window
In this window, you can define the workpiece origin for regular rectangular
workpiece through finding the center point by two points on the workpiece:
To do centering, do the following (take centering X-axis as an example):
1. Turn off the spindle to avoid danger from too fast spindle speed.
2. Click StartCenter.
3. Move the tool to one side of the workpiece and press Record X. The system
records the machine coordinates of current point.
4. Move the tool to the other side of the workpiece and press Center X. The
system does the following:
1. Record the machine coordinates of current point.
2. Calculate the center point based on coordinates of current point and
previous point.
Note: When one axis is centered, the other axis should keep still.
