General Overview

Graphic Positioning Aid
When traversing to display value zero (in the Distance-To-Go mode),

ND 780 displays a graphic positioning aid.
ND 780 displays the graphic positioning aid in a narrow rectangle

underneath the currently active axis. Two triangular marks in the

center of the rectangle symbolize the nominal position.
A small square symbolizes the axis slide. An arrow indicating the

direction appears in the square while the axis is moving towards, or

away from the nominal position. Note that the square does not begin

to move until the axis slide is near the nominal position. Setting up the

graphic positioning aid, see “Graphic Positioning Aid” on page 29

under Job Setup.
