Manual Operation and Setup
14.7 Using a 3-D touch probe (option 17)
Recording measured values from the touch probe
cycles
The TNC must be specially prepared by the machine
tool builder for use of this function. Refer to your
machine manual.
After executing the respective selected touch probe cycle, the TNC
displays the WRITE LOG TO FILE soft key. If you press this soft key,
the TNC will record the current values determined in the active
touch probe cycle.
If you store the measuring results, the TNC creates the text file
TCHPRMAN.TXT. If you have not defined a path in the machine
parameter fn16DefaultPath(no. 102202), the TNC will store the
TCHPRMAN.TXT and TCHPRMAN.html files in the main directory
TNC:\.
If you press the WRITE LOG TO FILE soft key,
the TCHPRMAN.TXT file cannot be selected in
the Programming operating mode. The TNC will
otherwise display an error message.
The TNC writes the measured values to the
TCHPRMAN.TXT or TCHPRMAN.html file. If you
execute several touch probe cycles in succession
and want to store the resulting measured data,
you must make a backup of the contents stored in
TCHPRMAN.TXT between the individual cycles by
copying or renaming the file.
Format and content of the TCHPRMAN.TXT file are
preset by the machine tool builder.
