2.6 Measuring the workpiece zero
Note
"Measuring only" for automatic measuring
If "Measuring only" is selected as offset target, then instead of the "Set WO" softkey, the
"Calculate" softkey is displayed.
The measuring versions "Set edge", "Rectangular pocket", "Rectangular spigot", "1 circular
spigot" and "1 hole" are an exception. For these single-point measurements, for "Measuring
only" neither the "Set WO" softkey nor the "Calculate" softkey is listed.
Preconditions

Selecting the measuring plane
The measuring plane (G17,18,19) can be selected to flexibly adapt to measuring tasks. If the
measuring plane selection is not activated, then the measurement is performed based on the
currently active measuring plane.
Selecting the probe number and the calibration data set number
Workpiece probe calibration data fields can be selected using this function. For different
measuring situations, in order to guarantee a high measuring accuracy, it may be necessary
to save the corresponding calibration data in different data fields, which can then be selected
for the measuring tasks.
If the probe number selection is not activated, then probe number "one" is always used.
