Recording the results of measurement

For all cycles in which you automatically measure workpieces (with the exception of Cycles 0 and 1), you can have the control record the measurement results in a log. In the respective probing cycle you can define if the control is to

  • Save the measuring log to a file
  • Interrupt program run and display the measuring log on the screen
  • Create no measuring log

If you want to save the measuring log to a file, the control by default saves the data as an ASCII file. The control will save the file in the directory that also contains the associated NC program.

The unit of measurement of the main program can be seen in the header of the log file.

 
Tip

Use the HEIDENHAIN data transfer software TNCremo if you wish to output the measuring log over the data interface.
