2. Calibrate with turning tool
When a turning tool is used for calibration, the probe can only be calibrated on 2 sides (see
figure below).
Requirement
The lateral surfaces of the probe cube must be aligned parallel to the machine axes Z1, X1
(abscissa and ordinate). The approximate coordinates of the tool probe PRNUM with respect
to the machine zero must be entered in array _TP[_PRNUM-1,0] to _TP[_PRNUM-1,3].
These values are used for automatic approach of the probe with the calibration tool and their
absolute value must not deviate from the actual value by more than the value in parameter
_TSA. The probe must also be reached within the total measurement path 2 · _FA.
