Writing the measured values from touch probe
cycles in datum tables
This function is active only if you have datum tables active
on your TNC (bit 3 in Machine Parameter 7224.0 =0).
Use this function if you want to save measured values in
the workpiece coordinate system. If you want to save
measured values in the fixed machine coordinate system
(REF coordinates), press the ENTER IN PRESET TABLE
soft key (see "Writing the measured values from touch
probe cycles in the preset table" on page 473).
With the ENTER IN DATUM TABLE soft key, the TNC can write the
values measured during a touch probe cycle in a datum table:
Danger of collision!
Note that during an active datum shift the TNC always
bases the probed value on the active preset (or on the
reference point most recently set in the Manual operating
mode), although the datum shift is included in the position
display.
