You can set it up to read zero at each start of mach. However the usual procedure is when you start you should reference your machine (if you have limit switches) That way Mach knows where the table is and this will allow you to also use soft limits.
 Once you have referenced the machine if you press the "machine Coords" button you will see all 0000's but when you press it again you will see the last saved offset, that is if you have that option checked.
Do you have limit switches on your machine??

Hi, Dhaxt

In Config, General Config..., Un-check the "Persistent DRO's" Box, Bottom Right of Screen.

That should fix it, Shut down Re- start Mach.

Hope this Helps, Chip
