Note/Set Function (Setting Tool Offsets) - HEIDENHAIN ND 780 Handbuch

NOTE/SET Function (Setting tool offsets)

The Note/Set function can be used to set a tool's offset when a tool is
under load and the diameter of the workpiece is not known.
The Note/Set function is useful when determining tool data by
touching the workpiece. To avoid losing the position value when the
tool is retracted to measure the workpiece, this value can be stored by
pressing NOTE.
To use the Note/Set function:
Press the TOOL soft key. Select the desired tool and
press ENTER key.
Select the X axis key.
Turn a diameter in the X axis.
Press the NOTE soft key while the tool is still cutting.
Retract from the current position.
Turn the spindle off and measure the workpiece
diameter.
Enter the measured diameter or radius, for example,
15 mm and press ENTER.
Remember to ensure the ND 780 is in diameter
display mode (Ø) if you input a diameter value.
