  1. Do NOT press the "Set Zero" buttons on the control software. This off-sets the previous settings, and the stages will have to be re-calibratedcalibration might be necessary.
  2. Do NOT manually move any of the stages, unless you know what you are doing and it is necessary. Manual, forced movement also off-sets the previous settings, leading to re-calibration.
    These stages are already far from mechanically perfect, and no further damage is to be done.

...

The current convention is that the home position of each stage is calibrated as (0, 0) position. If you home-positioned the stage, but the coordinate shown is not (0, 0), re-calibration is required.
