4. Press the "X" or "Z" softkey, depending on which point of the tool
probe you wish to determine first.
5. Select the direction (+ or -), in which you would like to approach the

way that any collisions can be avoided when the first point of the tool
probe is being approached.

back again. The position of the tool probe is determined and saved in
an internal data area.
