2.3.1

Calibrate probe - length (CYCLE976)

Function
Using this measuring version, the length of a workpiece probe can be calibrated in the tool
axis on a known surface (reference area). This can be done, for example, on a workpiece.
Measuring principle
The probe travels in the measuring direction on the edge (e.g. workpiece)
Figure 2-8
The length of the probe is determined corresponding to the setting in general MD 51740
$MNS_MEA_FUNCTION_MASK, bit 1. The setting determines whether the tool length refers
to the probe ball center or the probe ball circumference.
In the version tool length to ball center, a trigger value is entered into the calibration data
according to the calibration direction.
