Measured value recording
The positions of all path and positioning axes
(maximum number of axes depends on control
configuration) in the block that have moved are
recorded.
In the case of MEAS, the motion is braked in a
defined manner after the probe has switched.
Comment
If a GEO axis is programmed in a measurement
block, the measured values for all current GEO axes
are recorded.
If an axis that participates in a transformation is
programmed in a measurement block, the measured
values for all axes that participate in this
transformation are recorded.
Additional notes
The MEAS and MEAW functions are active non-
modally.
