Process (internal cycle)

Starting position before the cycle is called: The touch probe must be positioned either manually or in automatic mode as centrally as possible and at a short clearance above the first sphere. It stands vertically, i.e. the touch probe rotation stands at 0.

The internal cycle process can be described as follows:

1. The spindle must be in its initial position at cycle start.
2. The touch probe first runs a measurement in the Z direction and a total of four lateral measurements, after which it returns to the starting position.
3. If a measurement repetition was specified in @P88 to enhance accuracy, the measurement is repeated, whereby the lateral measurements take place at the calculated height of the equator.
4. The touch probe travels to starting height above the measured centre point of the sphere.
