Calibrating probe radius

General information

With the "radius" selection, the probe can be calibrated in the axes of the working plane in a

suitable hole (geometrical accuracy, low surface roughness) and precisely known diameter

or in calibration ring.

Approaching the calibration ring

Position the probe roughly in the hole center and at calibration depth.
