 If a specific spot has to be saved into the machine memory as an origin point, here is how to achieve this.
-  - First jog the spindle to the desired spot over the engraving table, or use the  {{:user:jan.vangelder:x300:en:20x20.png?16|}} key to move the spindle there.
+  - First jog the spindle to the desired spot over the engraving table, or use the  {{:en:x300:key_move.png?20|}} key to move the spindle there.
-  - Then push the "Shift" button  {{:user:jan.vangelder:x300:en:20x20.png?16|}} and verify that the shift arrow in the status bar of the virtual pendant gets a different colour.
+  - Then push the "Shift" button  {{:en:x300:key_shift.png?20|}} and verify that the shift arrow in the status bar of the virtual pendant gets a different colour {{:en:x300:key_shift_down.png?20|}}.
-  - Push the {{:user:jan.vangelder:x300:en:20x20.png?16|}} button.
+  - Push the {{:en:x300:zero.png?30|}} button. The following dialog window opens: {{:en:x300:goto_softhome.png?100|}}\\
-  - Pick a free number or a home number you want to overwrite and click a number from 1 to 9.
+  - Pick a number you want to use and click on it (from 1 to 9).
-At the same time the permanent home position will become the active home position (0,0), and the number under which this position was saved, will be displayed in the upper right corner of the Cyborg virtual pendent. (see image on the left). {afbeelding} In this case home 5 was chosen to save this set of X,Y parameters.
+Doing so the spot where the spindle stands will become the active home position (0,0), and the number under which this position was saved, will be displayed in the upper right corner of the Cyborg virtual pendent.  If home 3 was chosen to save this set of X,Y coordinates, this is what you will see: {{:en:x300:three.png?30|}}.
 === Activating a preprogrammed origin point ===
-To reactivate call a previously recorded soft home position, click the  {{:user:jan.vangelder:x300:en:20x20.png?16|}} key. The "Go to home number" window appears (see image on the left) {afbeelding}. When you click on one of the nine available keys, the spindle will move to that specific home position and the virtual pendent will display the number of the active soft home position in the upper right corner of the Cyborg virtual pendent.
+To reactivate call a previously recorded programmable home position, click the {{:en:x300:zero.png?30|}} key. The "Go to home number" window appears. When you click on one of the nine available keys, the spindle will move to that specific home position and the virtual pendent will display the number of the active home position in the upper right corner of the Cyborg virtual pendent.
 When one of the preprogrammed origins is recalled, this origin also becomes the new soft home, and replaces the possibly existing soft home. After switching off the machine and rebooting it, the machine home becomes the origin point again, but the preprogrammed origins (1-9) remain in the machine's memory and can be reactivated any time.
+=== Recalling the last softhome after machine reboot ===
+If you have used a soft home, then switched off the machine, or if you had a power fail, and you reboot the machine, it is still possible to recall the last used soft home from before the reboot.  This can only be done if after the reboot no new soft home was determined.  To recall the last used soft home, click {{:en:x300:key_shift.png?20|}} and then {{:en:x300:key_sethome.png?20|}}.
