If measuring shows that the length of the tool diameter is greater than
the probe diameter, measurement is automatically performed with a
turning spindle rotating in the opposite direction. The tool is not
traversed across the center of the probe but with the outside edge of
the tool along the center point of the measuring probe.
Measuring length
 Attach the tool you want to measure to the spindle.
 Position the tool near the measuring probe so that it can be
approached without collision.
