Mode (0=Check/1=Measure)
Q406: Specify whether
the TNC should check or optimize the active 
kinematics:
0: Check the active machine kinematics. The TNC 
measures the kinematics in the rotary axes you have 
defined, but it does not make any changes to it. The 
TNC displays the results of measurement in a 
measurement log 
1: Optimize the active machine kinematics. The TNC 
measures the kinematics in the rotary axes you have 
defined and optimizes the position of the rotary 
axes of the active kinematics.
8
Exact calibration sphere radius
Q407: Enter the
exact radius of the calibration sphere used. Input 
range 0.0001 to 99.9999
8
Set-up clearance
Q320 (incremental): Additional
distance between measuring point and ball tip. Q320 
is added to MP6140. Input range 0 to 99999.9999, 
alternatively PREDEF
8
Retraction height
Q408 (absolute): Input range
0.0001 to 99999.9999
Input 0:
Do not move to any retraction height. The TNC 
moves to the next measuring position in the axis to 
be measured. Not allowed for Hirth axes! The TNC 
moves to the first measuring position in the series 
A, then B, then C.
Input >0:
Retraction height in the untilted workpiece 
coordinate system to which the TNC positions 
before a rotary axis positioning in the spindle axis. 
Also, the TNC moves the touch probe in the 
working plane to the datum. The probe monitoring 
is not active in this mode. Define the positioning 
velocity in parameter Q253.
