Writing the measured values from touch probe 
cycles in 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:
U
Select any probe function
U
Enter the desired coordinates of the datum in the appropriate input 
boxes (depends on the touch probe cycle being run)
U
Enter the datum number in the Number in table= input box
U
Press the ENTER IN DATUM TABLE soft key. The TNC saves the 
datum in the indicated datum table under the entered number
Writing the measured values from touch probe 
cycles in 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\.
U
Select any probe function
U
Enter the desired coordinates of the datum in the appropriate input 
boxes (depends on the touch probe cycle being run)
U
Enter the preset number in the Number in table: input box
U
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 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 in the preset table" on page 343).
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 in datum tables" on page 343).
