U
Start angle C axis
Q419 (absolute): Starting angle in
the C axis at which the first measurement is to be 
made. Input range -359.999 to 359.999
U
End angle C axis
Q420 (absolute): Ending angle in the
C axis at which the last measurement is to be made. 
Input range -359.999 to 359.999
U
Angle of incid. in C axis
Q421: Angle of incidence
in the C axis at which the other rotary axes are to be 
measured. Input range -359.999 to 359.999
U
Number meas. points C axis
Q422: Number of probe
measurements with which the TNC is to measure the 
C axis. Input range 0 to 12. If input value = 0, the TNC 
does not measure the respective axis.
U
No. of measuring points (4/3)
Q423: Specify
whether the TNC should measure the calibration 
sphere in the plane with 4 or 3 probing points. 3 
probing points increase the measuring speed:
4: Use 4 measuring points (standard setting) 
3: Use 3 measuring points
U
Preset (0/1/2/3)
Q431: Specify whether the TNC is
to set the active preset (datum) automatically in the 
center of the sphere: 
0: Do not set the preset automatically in the center of 
the sphere: Set the preset manually before the start 
of the cycle
1: Set the preset automatically in the center of the 
sphere before measurement: Pre-position the touch 
probe manually over the calibration sphere before the 
start of the cycle
2: Set the preset automatically in the center of the 
sphere after measurement: Set the preset manually 
before the start of the cycle
3: Set the preset in the center of the sphere before 
and after measurement: Pre-position the touch probe 
manually over the calibration sphere before the start 
of the cycle
U
Backlash, angle range
Q432: Here you define the
angle value to be used as traverse for the 
measurement of the rotary axis. The traversing angle 
must be significantly larger than the actual backlash 
of the rotary axes. If input value = 0, the TNC does not 
measure the backlash. Input range: -3.0000 to 
+3.0000
If you have activated "Preset" before the calibration (Q431 
= 1/3), then move the touch probe by the safety clearance 
(Q320 + SET_UP) to a position approximately above the 
center of the calibration sphere before the start of the 
cycle.
