 Select the probe function by pressing the PROBING
ROT soft key
 Rotation angle: If you need the current basic rotation
later, write down the value that appears under
Rotation angle
 Make a basic rotation with workpiece edge to be
compared (see "Compensating workpiece
misalignment with a 3-D touch probe" on page 585)
