Writing measured values from the touch-probe cycles

in the workpiece coordinate system, use the
ENTER IN DATUM TABLE
function.

With the
ENTRY IN PRESET TABLE
soft key, the control can write
the values measured during any probe cycle in the preset table.
The measured values are then stored referenced to the machine
coordinate system (REF coordinates). The preset table has the
name PRESET.PR, and is saved in the TNC:\table\ directory.
