7.2
SW 5.4)
Function
In SW 4.3 and higher, cycle support for measuring cycles in the ASCII editor is provided as
for the standard cycles.
With this support function, the parameters described as mandatory parameters are input for
each measuring cycle. For the additional parameters the last values input are retained.
Furthermore, it is possible to change the additional parameters.
The measuring cycles are selected in the editor by using the vertical softkeys. The softkey
menu is divided up according to measuring tasks, e.g. "Calibration" and then "Calibration in
hole" or "Tool probe". This results in a one-to-one assignment between softkeys and
measuring cycles.
As of SW 5 of MMC100/100.2, MMC102/103 and HMI Advanced/Embedded, measuring
cycle support is reached using the softkeys
from the extended menu of the editor.
In the edited program there are calls with parameter list, e.g.
• CYCLE_PARA(...) for the provision of additional parameters
• CYCLE_976(...) for calibrating in hole,
• CYCLE_CAL_TOOLSETTER(...) for calibrating the tool probe.

Measuring cycle support files

Function
Measuring cycle support requires the following files:
• cov.com
• sc.com
• Auxiliary cycle*.spf
These files are combined in the following two archives on the measuring cycle diskette:
• MCSUPP_1.COM
• MCSUPP_2.COM

Additional cycles with parameter list that transfer the input parameters to the data blocks
(GUD) of the measuring cycles and call the measuring cycles.
