Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual page 285

The axis sequence for the approach is first the tool axis (3rd axis) followed by the axes of the
plane.
Position after the end of the measuring cycle
For "axis-by-axis" calibration, the calibration tool is positioned above the measuring surface
by measuring path DFA.
For "complete" calibration, the calibration tool is positioned about the center of the probe by
measuring path DFA.
Procedure
