About this manual
This manual is divided into two parts:
• Part I: Operating Instructions ... starts on page 5
• Part II: Technical Information ..... starts on page 81
Operating Instructions
When using the POSITIP in your work, you need only refer to the
Operating Instructions (Part I).
If you're new to POSITIP, you can use the operating instructions
as a step-by-step workbook. This part begins with a short introduc-
tion to the basics of coordinate systems and position feedback,
and provides an overview of the available features. Each feature is
explained in detail, using an example which you can immediately
try out on the machine — so you won't get "lost" in the theory. As a
beginner you should work through all the examples presented.
If you're already familiar with POSITIP, you can use the operating
instructions as a comprehensive review and reference guide. The
clear layout and the subject index make it easy to find the desired
topics.
Technical Information
If you are interfacing POSITIP to a machine or wish to use the data
interfaces, refer to the technical information in Part II.
Subject Index
A subject index for both parts of the manual can be found on
pages 113 to 115.
