4.7 Measurements with touch trigger probe (MEAS, MEAW)
Function
The "Measure with touch-trigger probe" is used to approach actual positions on the work-
piece. On the probe's switching edge, the positions for all axes programmed in the measure-
ment block are measured and written to the appropriate memory cell for each axis.

Programming measurement blocks
The following two commands are available for programming measurement blocks:
●
MEAS
The
MEAS command is used to delete the distance-to-go between the actual and setpoint
positions.
●
MEAW
The
MEAW command is used in the case of measuring tasks where the programmed
position always needs to be approached.
MEAS and MEAW are non-modal; they are programmed together with motion operations. The
feedrates and interpolation types (G0, G1, etc.), as well as the number of axes, must be
selected as appropriate for the measuring task at hand.
Reading measurement results
The measurement results for the axes acquired with probes are available in the following
variables:
●
$AA_MM[<axis>]
Measurement results in the machine coordinate system
●
$AA_MW[<axis>]
Measurement results in the workpiece coordinate system
