10.7 Gantry axes (SW 5.1 and later)
Axis groups were not supported by the previous "Measuring function" and
"Function generator" start-up tools. Software package 5 extends the existing
functionality of the MMC interface.
There is now an option for simple optimization by measuring the axes individu-
ally.
10.7.1

Description

The MMC interface allows the start-up engineer to measure each axis of the
gantry group separately.
The MMC configures the axes so that they execute identical movements.
The user can record the results simultaneously for up to 2 axes. This corre-
sponds to the previous measuring function for 2 independent axes.
10.7.2 Conditions
611D: only one function generator or measuring function can be activated on a
multiple module, i.e. the new functionality is only available if the gantry axes are
implemented on different modules.
