The switching positions of the probe are
not known. The calibration tool must have
been positioned in front of the probe
manually (in JOG mode) before the cycle
is called. It is only possible to determine
the switching position that is in the
measuring axis _MA and the stated
measuring direction _MD. Only the probe
switching position in which the axis and
direction will subsequently be measured
incrementally have to be calibrated.
Only measured values that are in the
measurement axis _MA can be
calculated. The geometry of the tool to be
measured is roughly known and entered
in the tool offset. Positioning of the tool
with respect to the calibrated probe is
performed in the cycle. The geometry
must be determined precisely or wear
(initial measurement or remeasurement
of a tool).
The geometry of the tool to be measured
is not known. The tool must have been
positioned in front of the probe manually
before the cycle is called. The geometry
is to be determined exactly. Only one
measured value that is in the
measurement axis _MA can be
calculated. The cycle approaches the
probe in the measuring axis in the
specified measuring direction _MD.
