Terms Defined:

A-P          = Anterior – Posterior Axis Coordinate   

M-L          = Medial – Lateral Axis Coordinate

D_V         = Dorsal-Ventral  Axis Coordinate

Bregma  = The junction of the sagittal and coronal sutures at the top of the skull (www.freedictionary.com)

Home     = Zero Point of reference

Saved Offset = Distance Value added to axis position when play button is pressed or when Routing mode is engaged.   

Routing Resolution = This is the distance the drill will travel each pass until it reaches the D-V offset. The routing resolution is 0.05mm each route.

Routing:

The routing feature is used to cut out a piece of the skull. The D-V routing distance is .05mm each step.  This means that if D-V routing offset is .10mm it will take 2 passes to complete the route.
