    You should be in manual mode (little hand) or handwheel mode (maybe). Press orange axis letter and 'Set Datum' should appear, or you may have to page through the softkey menus on the edge of the screen.

    In manual mode there is a softkey that says 'set datum' at the bottom of the screen.

    In my workshop have 3 Hermle milling machines using Heidenhain controller
    But except 1 machine don't have Set Datum in the manual mode,
    That's why I try to activate the set datum to display/appear in the softkey but it not work,I forgot the error message.
