The circularity (roundness) test

22.3.6 Data capture for the graphic
Once the graphic representation has been defined and the machine axes are being
interpolated, the point capture for the graphics may begin.
The point capture is initiated from the softkey menu. The point capture may be either simple,
where the graph is made once (a single whole circle), or continuous where the graph is
redrawn for every interpolation of the machine (after every whole circle).
The machine parameters may be modified while capturing points. See
"22.3.7 Adjustment
of the machine parameters involved" on page 428.
Simple data capture
Data capture is initiated with the "Simple" softkey. This softkey deletes the graph and starts
drawing the circularity error enlarged to the defined scale. The capture ends after a whole
circle or when the "Stop" softkey is pressed.
Continuous point capture
Data capture is initiated with the "Continuous" softkey. This softkey deletes the graph and
starts drawing the circularity error enlarged to the defined scale. The capture ends when the
"Stop" softkey is pressed.
When modifying the machine parameters, it is possible to see the new graph over the
previous one or press the "Clear" key to only see the new one.
Stop the point capture
Press the "Stop" softkey to stop the data capture. This softkey stops the simple or continuous
data capture at any time. Once the data capture is completed, two lines are drawn on the
graph indicating the angular position of the maximum and minimum error.
Delete the graphic representation
Use the "Clear" softkey to delete the graph. This softkey deletes the graph and the data
shown over it. It may be pressed at any time, even while it is being drawn.
When capturing points in the circularity test, they are not drawn on the graphics of the CNC.
This softkey only stops the data capture. It does not stop the movement of the axes. To stop the
movement of the axes, press the [STOP] key of the operator panel.
