Recording measured values from the touch probe
cycles
Refer to your machine manual.
The control must be specially prepared by the machine
tool builder for use of this function.
After executing the respective touch-probe cycle, the control writes
the measured values to the TCHPRMAN.html file.
If you have not defined a path in the machine parameter
FN16DefaultPath (no. 102202), the control will store the
TCHPRMAN.html file in the TNC:\ main directory.
Operating notes:
If you run several touch probes cycles in a row, the
control stores the measured values below each
other.
