Measuring | Conducting a measurement
Fixing the measured object in place
The measured object must be fixed in place on the measuring plate or in an
appropriate holder, depending on its size.
Position the measured object in the center of the measuring range
Use e.g. modeling clay to fix small measured objects in position
Use fixtures to fix large measured objects in position
Make sure that the measured object is fastened neither too loosely nor too
tightly
Conducting the reference mark search
With the help of reference marks, the unit can assign axis positions of the encoder
to the machine.
If no reference marks for the encoder are provided by a defined coordinate system,
you need to perform a reference mark search before you start measuring.
If the reference mark search after unit start is active, then all of the
unit’s functions will be disabled until the reference mark search has
been successfully completed.
Further information:
"Reference marks (Encoder)", Page 201
The reference mark search does not need to be performed for serial
encoders with EnDat interface, because the axes are automatically
homed.
If the reference mark search is active on the unit, then a wizard will ask you to
traverse the reference marks of the axes.
After logging in, follow the instructions of the wizard
The Reference symbol stops blinking upon successful completion of the
reference mark search
