Writing the measured values from touch probe
cycles to datum tables

With the ENTER IN DATUM TABLE soft key, the TNC can write the
values measured during a touch probe cycle in a datum table:

Select any probe function

Enter the desired coordinates of the datum in the appropriate input
boxes (depends on the touch probe cycle being run)

Enter the datum number in the Number in table= input box

Press the ENTER IN DATUM TABLE soft key. The TNC saves the
datum in the indicated datum table under the entered number

Use this function if you want to save measured values in
the workpiece coordinate system. If you want to save
measured values in the fixed machine coordinate system
(REF coordinates), press the ENTER IN PRESET TABLE
soft key (see "Writing the measured values from touch
probe cycles to the preset table" on page 296).
