3. Press the "Meas. tool" and "Calibrate probe" softkeys.
4. Press the "X" or "Z" softkey, depending on which point of the tool probe
you wish to determine first.
5. Select the direction (+ or -), in which you would like to approach the tool
probe.
6. Position the calibrating tool in the vicinity of the tool probe in such a way
that any collisions can be avoided when the first point of the tool probe
is being approached.
7. Press the <CYCLE START> key.
The calibration process is started, i.e. the calibrating tool is
automatically traversed at the measurement feedrate to the probe and
back again. The position of the tool probe is determined and saved in an
internal data area.
