    Another thing to consider, which I don't believe has been mentioned, is thermal expansion.

    Each MTB seems to have their own way of handling this process.

    The brand we sell uses the following method:

    Sounds to me as if manual absolute was switched on. On some machines this allows manual repositioning of the machine without the position being updated. Only machine coordinates update.
