2.3 Test series on the machine
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" identi-
fies 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.
