virtual zero

[gpeck]

Is their a manual on the virtual zero sit up and how to use it? I thought I had everything set up to use the virtutal zero on a project that I knew was not level, when I clicked the start button the router went to the lower left like it said it would but it did not stop and it hit all 3 axes with a thumping noise, so I hit the emergency botton to stop it and it shut down, what did I do wrong??? I hope I did not hurt the machine with it thumping like that.

You have to have your tap file loaded. Then set the home position for X,Y, and Z. From that point on the controller will know where the 4 corners of your project board are and go right to those corners for a Z measurement when you start the Virtual routine. Bottom left, bottom right, top right, top left, then back to 0,0 for a final check. Be sure and remove the touch plate after the check at 0,0 as once you continue the bit will drop to 0,0,0.

I do not see it now on Nextwave' site , but I downloaded a Users Manual for v2.0 when I got the software. It explains how to set up and operate the Virtual Zero. With the software running,
go to File->Preferences->Border. If you enter 3, and if you work in inches, the software will take its measurements three inches toward the center from both the X and Y axes. This allows
for clamps and jigs.
