Default: 0
Range: -65536 to 65535
This parameter is available on all axis types except those with quadrature or stepper feedback. Quadrature and stepper axes use the Coordinate Limit parameter in place of the Offset parameter.
The Offset parameter is used for the following two purposes:
Translating transducer counts to actual position in user-defined position units.
Defining the 16-bit position range.

What if it is displayed under RMCWin incorrectly?
The Offset parameter may be displayed incorrectly on the RMCWin main screen in some circumstances. This is because the offset specifies the zero location of the axis. The numbers are not necessarily incorrect (the module still functions correctly), but they may not look right.
To correct the problem:
Right-click the Offset parameter and choose Toggle Offset Sign.
You can now save the parameters to a file (on the File menu, click Save). Whenever you start RMCWin, if you read the parameters from the RMC, the problem should be corrected, as long as the Offset did not change in the RMC.
