The DATA Position Reg screen displays the current value of each position register in the system. You can change the value of any position register and add comments using the DATA Position Reg screen.
If you are using SpotTool+, you must define PR[1] as the home position. SpotTool+ reserves PR[1] as the home position.
If your system is configured to have more than one motion group, you can set the group mask when you use any position register instruction. The group mask allows you to use function keys to specify:
Whether the group mask will be used. If the group mask is not used, the position register instruction affects the default group only.
The group or groups that the position register instruction will affect.
