Setting Up the Machine Interface

The Edit | Preferences | Machine Interface Setup menu option opens the Machine Options dialog box for your machine interface. The Machine Interface Setup option is only available when you work in Online mode.

In most cases, you should not change any of the values in the Machine Options dialog box. Some items in this dialog box, such as the items in the Mechanical Offsets area, permanently overwrite values stored for your machine on the controller's hard drive. For questions on how and when to use the Machine Options dialog box, please contact your local service representative.

For information on this dialog box, please refer to the "Machine Options Dialog Box" topic in the Machine Interface Installation Manual (MIIM). The MIIM is typically used only by Hexagon service engineers.
