Complete calibration
The tool probes are automatically calibrated for the "complete" calibration. Using the calibration
tool, the measuring cycle determines the tool probe trigger points in all axes or axis directions
in which the probe can be approached.

The tool axis (for G17: Z) must always be able to be approached in the minus direction.
Otherwise no "complete" calibration is possible. Calibration is started in the 3rd axis, followed
by the axes of the plane. "Complete" calibration is shown in the following screens (example:
G17).
Figure 3-33
Before the first calibration operation in the plane, e.g. plus direction of the 1st axis, the precise
center of the probe is determined in the other axis (2nd axis), as long as the probe can be
approached in this axis. Additional movements are performed in the plane for this purpose.
