No, the G92 can be used to set the current location to be any value
you want. I do set it to zero when using a coax indicator, but when using
an edge finder, you would set it to 1/2 the width of the edge finder,
and + or - depending on which side of the line you are on.
It does, in fact, change the location of the zero point on that axis,
so what the NIST document says isn't literally wrong, but is not as clear
as it could be.
