Hi all. I am hoping that someone here can explain how the 'Measure' function is supposed to work on a CHNC II lathe with Fanuc 10TF control.

What the function does at the moment is add to the 00 Shift register. For example, if I key in Z10.0 while in the Work Offset page, and then press the measure soft key, it adds 10.0 to the 00 Shift Z register. If I key in Z-10.0, it subtracts 10 from the 00 Shift Z register. It does not change the G54 register. I am told, by those working with CNC lathes daily, that this is not typical behaviour for the Measure function.

I have the manuals that came with the lathe, and use of the Measure function is not explained anywhere.

Does anyone know how this function is supposed to work, if at all, on a CHNC II?

Many thanks in advance,
Richard
