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. In addition, the touch probe must be in initial position.

The position of the touch probe in the Z axis is retained for all pre-positions.

The internal cycle process can be described as follows:

1. 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. 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.
2. The touch probe approaches the second pre-position specified in @P41 and @P43 with constant Z position.
3. The second sphere is measured in the same way as in step 1.
4. The touch probe approaches the third pre-position specified in @P42 and @P44 with constant Z position.
5. The third sphere is measured in the same way as in step 1.
6. The touch probe returns to the starting position.
