Way I work it is I let the setter go fully down and then press a button on the screen which sends the index pulse to the Enc Module which in turn resets the Enc Modules counting, ie sets zero. So I suppose similar to setting machine coords zero.
Next I place the Haimer in and bring the setter down on it until the haimer reads zero, I then press the screen button and type in 100 (that is the tool I have the Haimer set as) and it writes the offset to the tool table, I then repeat for all tools I want.
The Haimer only needs set up the once, dont have to do it each time I use it.
So when actually wanting to use the tools I put the Haimer in and call G43H100 bring it to the surface and zero work coords. Now any tool I call with its height offset is correct.
