Call sequence of the NC programs 
The prolog and epilog program is executed before and after each measurement 
movement. The program is also called at the start of a test series and at the end of 
a test series. 
 
Example of a call sequence: 
 
Prolog for test series (testType == "FRAME") 
Prolog for measurement series1 (testType == "CIRCULARITY") 
Checking the return parameters 
Measurement1 
Epilog for measurement series1 (testType == "CIRCULARITY") 
Prolog for measurement series2 (testType == "EQUABILITY") 
Checking the return parameters 
Measurement2 
Epilog for measurement series2 (testType == "EQUABILITY") 
Prolog for measurement series3 (testType == "UNIVERSAL") 
Checking the return parameters 
Measurement3 
Epilog for measurement series3 (testType == "UNIVERSAL") 
Prolog for measurement series4 (testType == "CIRCULARITY") 
Checking the return parameters 
Measurement4 
Epilog for measurement series4 (testType == "CIRCULARITY") 
... 
Epilog for test series (testType == "FRAME") 
testType == "FRAME" marks the call at the start and end of the test series. The 
other parameters with this call are irrelevant. testType == "CIRCULARITY" 
identifies a circularity test measurement. "EQUABILITY" stands for the equability 
test and "UNIVERSAL" for the universal axis test. 
 
In the calls placed before and after a measurement, the further call parameters of 
the program contain the specific information about the measurement in accordance 
with the table.
