12 3-D Touch Probes 210
To measure the angle between two workpiece sides:
ú Select the probing function by pressing the PROBING ROT soft
key.
ú Rotation angle: If you will need the current basic rotation later,
write down the value that appears under Rotation
angle.
ú Make a basic rotation for the first side (see “Compensating
workpiece misalignment”).
ú Probe the second side as for a basic rotation, but do not set the
Rotation angle to zero!
ú Press the PROBING ROT soft key to display the angle PA between
the two sides as the Rotation angle.
ú Cancel the basic rotation, or restore the previous basic rotation by
setting the Rotation angle to the value that you wrote down
previously.
