Operational sequence

General information
Measurement axis _MA
In this cycle, not only the measuring axis but also the offset axis are specified in _MA. The
offset axis is the 2nd axis of the measuring plane. Intermediate positioning to the measuring
point is performed in this axis for paraxial positioning; for positioning at an angle it is
performed in both axes. It is also possible to specify the applicate as the measurement or
offset axis.
Distance of measuring point 1 to measuring point 2 in the offset axis: _ID
Parameter _ID is used to define the distance between P1 and P2 in the offset axis. Only
positive values are permissible for _ID. P1 must therefore be selected in the offset axis
before the cycle begins.
