Call sequence of the NC programs
The prolog and epilog program is executed before and after each measurement
movement. The program is also called at the start of a test series and at the end of
a test series.
Example of a call sequence:
Prolog for test series (testType == "FRAME")
Prolog for measurement series1 (testType == "CIRCULARITY")
Checking the return parameters
Measurement1
Epilog for measurement series1 (testType == "CIRCULARITY")
Prolog for measurement series2 (testType == "EQUABILITY")
Checking the return parameters
Measurement2
Epilog for measurement series2 (testType == "EQUABILITY")
Prolog for measurement series3 (testType == "UNIVERSAL")
Checking the return parameters
Measurement3
Epilog for measurement series3 (testType == "UNIVERSAL")
Prolog for measurement series4 (testType == "CIRCULARITY")
Checking the return parameters
Measurement4
Epilog for measurement series4 (testType == "CIRCULARITY")
...
Epilog for test series (testType == "FRAME")
testType == "FRAME" marks the call at the start and end of the test series. The
other parameters with this call are irrelevant. testType == "CIRCULARITY"
identifies a circularity test measurement. "EQUABILITY" stands for the equability
test and "UNIVERSAL" for the universal axis test.
In the calls placed before and after a measurement, the further call parameters of
the program contain the specific information about the measurement in accordance
with the table.
