## Update Work Offset

1. Press the Measure soft key from the Main screen's Navigation Bar.

2. Press the Forward soft key until you get to the third page of soft keys.

3. Press the Update Work Offset soft key to display the Update Work Offset screen.

This screen can be used to automatically update a work offset at the end of a program or to manually update a work offset after features have been inspected.

To do this, an update work offset command needs to be added to an NC Gage program.

1. Inspect the features that will be used to update the work offset using NC Gage.

2. Press the Update Work Offset soft key to access the Update Work Offset screen as described above.

3. Specify the features defining the work offset in the Update Work Offset screen.

4. Press the Confirm soft key to add the update work offset command to the NC Gage program. Press the Return soft key to return to the previous screen without saving.

When the program runs, it will update the work offset.

To learn the work offset:

1. Select the feature in each axis list that is to be updated. Not all the axes need to be updated. The Value boxes will update to show the location of the selected feature. Once the Value box updates with information, the corresponding Offset box will become available.

2. If desired, type an offset distance into the Offset boxes. The distance may be positive or negative and represents the location of the feature after the work offset is updated.

3. Select the work offset name from the list by pressing the Select a Work Offset to Update soft key until the desired work offset is highlighted. Parameters for each highlighted work offset will be updated on the screen as each one is selected.

4. If the program has already run, NC Gage can update the work offset immediately. Configure the screen accordingly and select the Execute soft key . This will update the selected work offset and not save the command to the program.
