7.10.1 Tool measurement
There are two types of measurement available for measuring tools:
 Measurement with an optical gauge
 Measurement with a touch probe
Tools can only be measured in the Machine mode of operation. In the main
menu, select the Set T, S, F dialog box and press the Measure tool soft key.
Measurement with
an optical gauge
If you want to use an optical gauge for tool measurement, set
MP_measuringType to Optic. Appropriate help graphics and soft keys for
tool measurement by means of an optical gauge will then be displayed in the
Machine mode of operation. Since the tool tip must be moved manually by the
user to the cross hairs of the optical gauge, you do not need to enter any
further settings in the machine parameters.
