3.3. Start of Tool Post Measurement
The example shows a measurement for the X-axis. The tool nose of the selected axis has to be on the correct
position which is the position for all tool post measurements.
The application is waiting for the pressed soft-key “MEASUR” or the correct Probe Touch Signal.
Screen Dump 3.2
The actual situation can be interrupted normally with the cursor keys, with the keys page up/down and with
the screen function keys. The CANCEL key has a special functionality, because this key is clearing with
each pressing one character from the input line.
All other keys are generating a CNC reset and in this case or the input line is completely cleared by the
CANCEL key the situation which is shown with Screen Dump 3.1 will be activated.
In case the measurement is started and terminated without a complete measurement of all tool posts the
alarm “NOT ALL TOOL POST MEASURED” will be generated and displayed.
The alarm can be cleared only with a new and complete measurement of all tool posts
