Using the program control MRD "Display measurement result", programmed measuring result
display calls can be simply activated or deactivated. To do this, the program does not have to
be changed!
The program control MRD acts on all measuring result display calls, irrespective of whether
they are implemented using CYCLE150 calls or by programming setting data 55613

General

Function
● Standard log
Output of the measurement results from the automatic measuring cycles in a log file.
Each measuring method of the standard measuring cycles is assigned a fixed standard log
with regard to the contents. The contents correspond to the measurement result display on
the screen. User entries for the log contents are not required.
● User log
Output of user-relevant data as a separate log or supplement to the measurement log.
The contents and format are the sole responsibility of the user. A predefined variable field
is available which can take the contents of the log.
It is possible to log to external media, if they are available, on local drives, USB or in the part
program memory. The log output can be in text format or in tabular format (column separator
";") for further processing in spreadsheet programs.
Requirements
If the data is to be saved to external media, such as USB or network drives, then the "EES"
option is required (see "Commissioning Manual Sinumerik Operate (IM9)").
Contents of a standard log
● Date/time (when the log was written), log name with path
● Measuring method
● The most important input values (that were entered in the screen form before measuring)
● Correction target
● Setpoints, measured values and differences
As many decimal places are logged as displayed on the screen. The terms and axis identifiers
also correspond to those displayed on the screen – but are written out (without abbreviations).
The measurement unit mm/inch depends on the system of units active during the
measurement.
