Writing the measured values from probe cycles
in datum tables
With the ENTER IN DATUM TABLE soft key, the TNC can write the
values measured during a probe cycle in a datum table:
U U U U Select any probe function.
U U U U Enter the desired coordinates of the datum in the appropriate input
fields (depends on the touch probe cycle being run).
U U U U Enter the datum number in the datum number = input box.
U U U U Enter the name of the datum table (complete path) in the datum
table input box.
U U U U Press the soft key ENTER IN DATUM TABLE. The TNC displays
whether the data are to be transferred to the indicated datum table
as actual values or reference values.
If, in addition to the desired coordinate of the datum, you wish to enter
an incremental distance in the table, switch the soft key DISTANCE to
ON. The TNC then displays an additional input box for each axis, in
which you can enter the desired distance. The TNC then writes the
sum of the desired datum and its assigned distance into the table.
This function is active only if you have datum tables active
on your TNC (bit 3 in machine parameter 7224.0 =0).
If immediately after probing you have used the probing
menu to reset the datum, do not write the probe values to
a datum table. The probe values saved by the TNC are
always based on the datum that was active at the time of
probing. Writing the probe values to a datum table would
result in incorrect entries.
