Gentlemen, If you are in the capture mode you would be able to MDI (or single step a program) the position, push a button to record the first column, use jog mode to position the joint to the correct position in the positive direction, push a button to record the second column, using jog you would be able to then move the axis into the correct position in the negative direction and then push a button to record the third column. Repeat as desired. The choice of type would be done prior to collecting the data. The collection process would record the proper data. How you get to the corrected postion depends on the axis motion. I will use a laser tracker for the linear joints and an indicator for the rotary joints. This is not for a machine with a scale. Comping a scale is the topic of another discussion. Now for the fun part. Implementing this. I don't know how to do it. I should be collecting the data tomorrow for the cinci. I will write the information and type it into the files. This will work just fine. thanks Stuart
