U
Measuring height in the touch probe axis Q261
(absolute): Coordinate of the ball tip center (= touch 
point) in the touch probe axis in which the 
measurement is to be made. Input range 
-99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
Set-up clearance Q320 (incremental): Additional
distance between measuring point and ball tip. Q320 
is added to SET_UP (touch probe table). Input range 
0 to 99999.9999
U
Clearance height Q260 (absolute): Coordinate in the
touch probe axis at which no collision between touch 
probe and workpiece (fixtures) can occur. Input range 
-99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
Traversing to clearance height Q301: Definition of
how the touch probe is to move between the 
measuring points: 
0: Move at measuring height between measuring 
points
1: Move at clearance height between measuring 
points
U
Set to zero after alignment Q337: Definition of
whether the TNC should set the display of the C axis 
to zero, or write the angular offset in column C of the 
datum table: 
0: Set display of C to 0 
>0: Write the angular misalignment, including 
algebraic sign, in the datum table. Line number = 
value of Q337. If a C-axis shift is registered in the 
datum table, the TNC adds the measured angular 
misalignment.
