7.5.3.2 Measurement of an angle (measurement type 4, 5, 6, 7)
Measurement of a corner C1 - C4 ($AC_MEAS_TYPE = 4, 5, 6, 7)
A corner is uniquely defined by approaching four measuring points P1 to P4. Three
measuring points suffice for a known angle of intersection ϕ.
If the angle of intersection ϕ and the workpiece position angle α are known, two
measurement points P1 and P3 suffice.
