Dave,

Zeroing out usually just involves rotating each of the axis 360
degrees.

It's been years since I used superstuff.

But if I remember correctly after you start the Superstuff program a
screen will come up then you rotate each axis 360 degees until each
axis has zeroed. There will be a bar type graph for each axis that
shows you when the axis has zeroed out.

You may have to use a "connect to CMM" button or command before the
graph will come up.
