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.
For the entry field "Height of the reference surface" 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 "Height
of the reference surface"; however, they can no longer be changed there.
