### Assigning the Machine Axes

Machine Options dialog box - Axis tab

The Axis tab contains lists for the X, Y, and Z axes. Using these drop down lists, assign the machine axes in the drop down lists to the appropriate PC-DMIS axes.

Items in the drop down lists on the right represent the machine's axes. These are then assigned to PC-DMIS's axes on the left.

WARNING: the axis directions you define MUST form a right-handed coordinate system.

Caution: Changing the defaults on the Axis tab can invalidate the machine's volumetric compensation (depending on the type of controller and the volumetric compensation used)
