Writing the measured values from touch probe
cycles in the preset table
With the ENTER IN PRESET TABLE soft key, the TNC can write the
values measured during a probe cycle in the preset table. The
measured values are then stored referenced to the machine-based
coordinate system (REF coordinates). The preset table has the name
PRESET.PR, and is saved in the directory TNC:\.
U Select any probe function
U Enter the desired coordinates of the datum in the appropriate input
boxes (depends on the touch probe cycle being run)
U Enter the preset number in the Number in table: input box
U Press the ENTER IN PRESET TABLE soft key. The TNC saves the
datum in the preset table under the entered number
Use this function if you want to save measured values in
the machine-based coordinate system (REF coordinates).
If you want to save measured values in the workpiece
coordinate system, press the ENTER IN DATUM TABLE
soft key (see “Writing the measured values from touch
probe cycles in datum tables” on page 575).
Danger of collision!
Note that during an active datum shift the TNC always
bases the probed value on the active preset (or on the
reference point most recently set in the Manual operating
mode), although the datum shift is included in the position
display.
If you overwrite the active datum, the TNC shows a
warning. If you really want to overwrite it, press the ENT
key. If not, press the NO ENT key.
