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:

Select any probe function

Enter the desired coordinates of the datum in the appropriate input
boxes (depends on the touch probe cycle being run)

Enter the datum number in the Number in table= input box

Enter the name of the datum table (complete path) in the Datum
table

input box

Press the ENTER IN DATUM TABLE soft key. The TNC saves the
datum in the indicated datum table under the entered number

This function is active only if you have datum tables active
on your TNC (bit 3 in Machine Parameter 7224.0 =0).

Use this function if you want to save measured values in
the workpiece coordinate system. If you want to save
measured values in the machine-based 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 585).

Danger of collision!

Note that during an active datum shift the TNC always
bases the probed value on the active datum (or on the
datum most recently set in the Manual operating mode),
although the datum shift is included in the position display.
