 =====myCNC Flatbed Correction=====
-This article discusses the flatbed correction feature built into myCNC software which is often useful when the working table is not even or has certain spots which are higher or lower than the reference position. This is especially useful in cases when something like a tangential knife needs to go over the uneven table, with up to a millimeter of play being involved, resulting in a cut that does not actually go through the working material properly.
+This article discusses the flatbed correction feature built into myCNC software which is often useful when the working table is not even or has certain spots which are higher or lower than the reference position. This is especially useful in cases when something like a tangential knife needs to go over the uneven table, resulting in a cut that does not actually go through the working material properly, or alternatively a cut that goes far too deep into the material.
+In order to account for this, flatbed correction is used.
-In order to account for this, go into **Settings > Config > Technology > Special Purpose > Flatbed Correction**.
+The following video goes over the basic process of setting up flatbed correction within myCNC software:

+To set up flatbed correction, into **Settings > Config > Technology > Special Purpose > Flatbed Correction**.
 The screen presented to you will be the following:

+After the setup process has been completed, a table of points in the XY-plane and their Z-positions will be presented on this page. These values can either be recorded by using the AutoMeasure procedure, or by using a sensor and recording each point individually by using the M402 macro.
+Using the AutoMeasure procedure, the operator can set the measurement distances for the X and Y axes as well as the number of points at which the height measurements will be taken for the XY-plane.
-The table on this settings page presents a number of values in the XY-plane and their z-positions. These values can either be recorded by using the AutoMeasure procedure (recommended) or by using a sensor and recording each point individually by using the M402 macro.
+**Note:** Flatbed correction **must be disabled** prior to beginning taking the measurements, otherwise the existing flatbed correction adjustments will conflict with new correction values. **Reload** the application after disabling flatbed correction.
-Using the AutoMeasure procedure, the operator can set the measurement distances for the X and Y axes as well as the number of points at which the height measurements will be taken for the XY-plane. The **Auto Measure Procedure** button can then be pressed to begin the probing process.
