You must have:
 The probe in the spindle with its tool number active and the tool type
set to "Touch Probe".
 The Ring Gauge mounted on the machine table.
Field Code Description
Boss Q Set Q to 1 if you are calibrating to a boss
verses a ring gauge. Otherwise, do not set
or set to 0. Default is: 0. (Optional)
Top H If set to 1, the cycle finds the top of the part
before calibrating the probe. If Q parameter
is set to 1, H is forced to 1 as well;
otherwise, the Default is: 0. (Optional)
DistDown E The distance to go down from the top of
the ring gauge or standing boss for
calibration. This is only used if H parameter
is set to 1. Without any E value, the cycle
brings the probe down past the top of the
ring gauge after finding the top, 0.1". Note:
If the stylus ball is greater than .2" (5.08
mm), E must be set to at least half the ball
diameter. (Optional)
DistBack V The V parameter specifies the distance to
back away from the edge for the probe to
fast feed to before trying to find it. Default
is: 0.1" (2.54 mm) if not set. (Optional)
GaugeDim D The diameter of the ring gauge hole the
probe stylus comes in contact with. This is
only to override the value in the machine
setup parameter
diameterOfSpindleProbeGauge if needed
and should be an exact measurement.
(Optional)
DistInX A The distance from the starting point to
move in the X-axis to find the top of the
gauge. The default, if Q is not set or set to
0, is 0.1" (2.54 mm) beyond the edge of the
ring gauge hole. If Q is set to 1, the default
is the current probe position. (Optional)
DistInY B The distance from the starting point to
move in the Y axis to find the top of the
gauge. The default is the current probe
position. (Optional)
