Checking the position of the measured fixture
To inspect measured fixtures, you can have the TNC generate a test
program. You have to run the inspection program in the Full Sequence
operating mode. The TNC probes test points that are specified by the
fixture designer in the fixture template and evaluates them. It provides
the result of the inspection on screen and in a log file.
