Writing the measured values from touch probe
cycles to the preset table

With the ENTER IN PRESET TABLE soft key, the TNC can write the
values measured during a probe cycle in the preset table. The
measured values are then stored referenced to the machine-based
coordinate system (REF coordinates). The preset table has the name
PRESET.PR, and is saved in the directory TNC:\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 preset number in the Number in table: input box

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

Use this function if you want to save measured values in
the machine-based coordinate system (REF coordinates).
If you want to save measured values in the workpiece
coordinate system, press the ENTER IN DATUM TABLE
soft key (see "Writing the measured values from touch
probe cycles to datum tables" on page 295).
