Calibrating tool probes

Function
● Calibrating tool probes - machine-related
● Calibrate tool probe, workpiece-related
Transformations can be activated in workpiece-related measurement, calibration.
The requirements and procedures are as for machine-related calibration (see "Calibrate tool
probe automatically (machine-related)").

Measuring variant _MVAR=0 permits machine-related calibration of a tool probe with a
calibrating tool.
This variant is already described in detail section "Calibrate tool probe automatically
(machine-related)".
Measuring variant _MVAR=10 permits
calibration of a tool probe relative to the
calibration tool relative to the workpiece.
The switching positions of the tool probe
refer to the workpiece zero. The data field
for the tool probe _PRNUM is used:
_TPW[PRNUM-1,...].
