Manually measuring a tool
If you want to use the chuck of the main or counter-spindle as a reference point during
manual measuring, specify the chuck dimension ZC.

Counter-spindle
You can measure either the forward edge or stop edge of the counter-spindle. The forward
edge or stop edge automatically serves as the valid reference point when traversing the
counter-spindle. This is especially important when gripping the workpiece using the counter-
spindle.
