5.7.1.1 Carrying Out Surface Measurement

When carrying out surface measurement, the position of each axis is measured and the measurement results are set in the
workpiece coordinates system offset. The measurement position displays at the measurement counter.
<Measurement using touch probe>
Measurement counter X = X axis skip position + sensor radius (*1)
Measurement counter Y = Y axis skip position + sensor radius (*1)
Measurement counter Z = Z axis skip position - sensor length
(*1) The sign (+ and -) changes depending on the direction of the axis moved last.
