Parameters
G code program
Parameters Description
PL Measuring plane (G17 - G19)
Calibration data set (1 - 12)
F Calibration and measuring
feedrate
Parameters Description
Calibration
1: Calibration in one direction

directions
2: Calibrations in opposite directions

Measuring Measuring axis (for G17):
direction
(+/-) X

(+/-) Y

DX /DY Distance between the edges (only for calibration directions "2")
X0 / Y0 Reference point X/Y (only for calibration directions "1"; corresponding to the measuring direction) mm
DFA Measurement path
TSA Safe area for the measurement result
NOTICE
When the calibration is performed for the first time, the default setting in the data field of the
probe is still "0". For this reason, the TSA parameter must be programmed > probe ball
radius to avoid the alarm "Safe area exceeded".
