TP functions You can use the TP functions to read out measured values from the manual
probing cycles used in the insertion of the fixture and the ascertainment of its
position and orientation.
TP functions have the following syntax:
TP(<value>,<cycle name>, {cycle index})
Entry Input Description
<Value> X, Y, Z, ANG X: Principal axis value of a probing cycle
Y: Minor axis value of a probing cycle
Z: Value in direction of probing
ANG: Angular value for rotation in the
probing plane
<cycle
name>
Text Name of the probing cycle whose value is
to be read.
<cycle
index>
Whole number
(1 to n)
It can happen that the same part is used
more than once in the fixture kinematics.
This part can include a probing cycle that
has the same name even though it is used
more than once. Use the <cycle index>
parameter to choose between the two
cycles.
Example:
The CMO "Jaw chuck" contains 3 CMOs
with the name "Jaw". Each "Jaw" includes
a probing cycle with the name "Rotation". If
you want to read the value of the rotation
on the third "Jaw", the function must be
entered as:
TP(ANG,Rotation,3)
