8.4 Setting zeros, workpiece measuring and tool measuring
8.4.2.5
Units of measurement and measurement variables for the calculation
INCH or METRIC unit of measurement
The following input and output variables are evaluated with inch or metric units of
measurement:
$AA_MEAS_POINT1[axis]
$AA_MEAS_POINT2[axis]
$AA_MEAS_POINT3[axis]
$AA_MEAS_POINT4[axis]
$AA_MEAS_SETPOINT[axis]
$AC_MEAS_DIAMETER
$AC_MEAS_TOOL_LENGTH
$AC_MEAS_RESULTS[n]
The system of units in which the input and output values can be read or written can be set
via the input variable.
INT $AC_MEAS_SCALEUNIT
0: Unit of measurement with reference to
1: Unit of measurement corresponds to
The value 1 is always treated as the standard setting if the variable is not written.
Example:
The basic system is metric:
G70
$AC_MEAS_POINT1[x] = $AA_IW[x]
$AC_MEAS_POINT1[x] = 10
G71
$AC_MEAS_POINT1[x] = $AA_IW[x]
$AC_MEAS_POINT1[x] = 10
G700
$AC_MEAS_POINT1[x] = $AA_IW[x]
$AC_MEAS_POINT1[x] = 10
G710
$AC_MEAS_POINT1[x] = $AA_IW[x]
$AC_MEAS_POINT1[x] = 10
