Measuring Input TO - Part III
5.1 Overview of Measuring Input TO
Measuring range
By specifying a measuring range, the validity of the measurement can be restricted to this
range; the measurement will only be activated when the position lies within the measuring
range.
One measuring input for more than one axis (as of V4.0)
By creating a measuring input with the "monitoring measuring input" property, measurements
can be made with one measuring input simultaneously on more than one axis/external encoder.
