Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a 
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
For the TNC to be able to calculate the angular values, the 
three measuring points must not be positioned on one 
straight line.
The spatial angles that are needed for tilting the working 
plane are saved in parameters Q170 – Q172. With the first 
two measuring points you also specify the direction of the 
reference axis when tilting the working plane.
The third measuring point determines the direction of the 
tool axis. Define the third measuring point in the direction 
of the positive Y axis to ensure that the position of the tool 
axis in a clockwise coordinate system is correct.
