Please note while programming:
Cycle parameters
U
Center in 1st axis
Q321 (absolute): Center of the
pocket in the reference axis of the working plane. 
Input range: -99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
Center in 2nd axis
Q322 (absolute): Center of the
pocket in the minor axis of the working plane. If you 
program Q322 = 0, the TNC aligns the hole center to 
the positive Y axis. If you program Q322 not equal to 
0, then the TNC aligns the hole center to the nominal 
position. Input range: -99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
Nominal diameter
Q262: Approximate diameter of the
circular pocket (or hole). Enter a value that is more 
likely to be too small than too large. Input range: 0 to 
99999.9999
U
Starting angle
Q325 (absolute): Angle between the
reference axis of the working plane and the first touch 
point. Input range: -360.0000 to 360.0000
U
Stepping angle
Q247 (incremental): Angle between
two measuring points. The algebraic sign of the 
stepping angle determines the direction of rotation 
(negative = clockwise) in which the touch probe 
moves to the next measuring point. If you wish to 
probe a circular arc instead of a complete circle, then 
program the stepping angle to be less than 90°. Input 
range: -120.0000 to 120.0000
Danger of collision!
To prevent a collision between the touch probe and the 
workpiece, enter a low estimate for the nominal diameter 
of the pocket (or hole).
If the dimensions of the pocket and the safety clearance 
do not permit pre-positioning in the proximity of the touch 
points, the TNC always starts probing from the center of 
the pocket. In this case the touch probe does not return to 
the clearance height between the four measuring points.
The smaller the angle increment Q247, the less accurately 
the TNC can calculate the datum. Minimum input value: 5°
Before a cycle definition you must have programmed a 
tool call to define the touch probe axis.
