Cycle run
Touch Probe Cycle 2 automatically calibrates a touch trigger probe 
using a ring gauge or a precision stud as calibration standard.
1
The touch probe moves at rapid traverse (value from MP6150) to 
the clearance height (but only if the current position is below the 
clearance height).
2
Then the TNC positions the touch probe in the working plane to the 
center of the ring gauge (calibration from inside) or in its proximity 
(calibration from outside).
3
The touch probe then moves to the measuring depth (result of 
MP618x.2 and MP6185.x) and probes the ring gauge successively 
in X+, Y+, X- and Y-.
4
Finally, the TNC moves the touch probe to the clearance height 
and writes the effective radius of the ball tip to the calibration data.

Clearance height

probe axis at which the touch probe cannot collide 
with the calibration workpiece or any fixtures. Input

Radius of ring gauge:
Radius of the calibrating

Definition of
whether the TNC is to calibrate from inside or outside: 
0: Calibrate from inside
1: Calibrate from outside
Before you begin calibrating, you must define in Machine 
Parameters 6180.0 to 6180.2 the center of the calibrating 
workpiece in the working space of the machine (REF 
coordinates).
If you are working with several traverse ranges you can 
save a separate set of coordinates for the center of each 
calibrating workpiece (MP6181.1 to 6181.2 and MP6182.1 
to 6182.2).
