10.5.2 Circular interpolation test
The integrated oscilloscope also contains a circular interpolation test (as of NC software
340422-03, 340480-03).
With this test, for example the static and sliding friction at the quadrant transitions can be
analyzed.
8 Choose the CIRC operating mode in the oscilloscope.
8 Select the Deviation setting for the appropriate axes in the two channels.
The integrated circular interpolation test with the mounted encoders (e.g., scales) does not
serve to test the geometry of the machine!
Here additional measuring equipment (e.g., KGM grid encoder from HEIDENHAIN) is
required.
