General information

The measuring cycles below are intended for use on turning machines.
Note
Spindle
Spindle commands in the measuring cycles always refer to the active master spindle of the
control.
When using the measuring cycles at machines with several spindles, then the spindle
involved must be defined as master spindle before the cycle call.

Plane definition
The measuring cycles work internally with the 1st and 2nd axes of the actual plane G17 to
G19.
The default setting for lathes is G18.
Note
The measuring cycle for tool measurement, turning (CYCLE982) does not position in the 3rd
axis (Y for G18). The user must position in the 3rd axis.
