Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual page 243

Workpiece probe 1, used as tool T9, D1, is
to be used.
The probe is already calibrated. Arrays for
workpiece probe 1: _WP[0, ...]
The following is entered under T9, D1 in
the tool offset memory:
Tool type (DP1):
Length 1 - geometry (DP3):
Radius - geometry (DP6):
Length 1 (L1) must refer to the center of
the probe ball (_CBIT[14]=0), as for
calibration.
Careful when positioning! Radius R in
length (L1) is ignored.

Explanation of example
Both measured angles are entered in result field _OVR[ ]. A ZO correction is not applied
(_KNUM=0).
