You need to perform the homing operation if you want to use the stage with a fixture. Homing is also needed for systems using any segmented linear or nonlinear error correction. A specific stage position must be identified in order to correlate the stage position with the error correction data. This operation establishes the machine’s zero location.
With this check box selected, PC-DMIS homes the machine when it starts. Some hardware may retain its homed state until you switch it off. If the hardware does not need homing, or if it isn’t configured for homing, selecting this check box will not have an effect.
