For the entry field "Diameter setting ring" (diameter, reference piece), fixed values can be
separately entered at parameters for each probe number (calibration data set number). If
these parameters are assigned, the values saved there are displayed in the entry field
"Diameter setting ring"; however, they can no longer be changed there.

entered at parameters for each probe number (calibration data set number). If these
