The authorization required to perform measurements, measure-ment series, and test series is described in detail in the Appendix.Measuring procedureThe sequence is performed as follows independently of the different types of exe-cution and type of test: Machine operator selects measurement, measurement series, or test series Confirmation of the parameters of the measurement and display of the meas-urement series contained in the test series A contour test to check collision can be performed before the actual measure-ment Check release by the PLC Machine operator sets AUTO mode and feedrate override to 100% on the con-trol Machine operator presses NC START on the control Perform machine-specific prolog of the measurement movement Perform the measurement movement with data recording Perform machine-specific epilog of the measurement movement Result display Save the resultNoticePlease observe the information on the operator panel!
