1. Select the machining operating area.
2. Switch to "JOG" mode.
3. Open the lower-level menu for tool measurement.
4. Open the auto tool measurement window.
5. Press this vertical softkey to enter the probe calibration screen.
6. You can use this vertical softkey to choose whether to calibrate the tool length and diame-
ter, or to calibrate the tool length only.
7. Move the tool until it presses down on the measuring surface of the probe. Then the calibra-
tion process is triggered automatically.
N o te:
When calibrating the probe, make sure the tool is approximately aligned with the center of
the measuring surface of the probe.
During the automatic measurement, a dial gauge symbol (
that the measuring process is active.
) displays, which indicates
