Prolog for measurement series4 (testType == "CIRCULARITY") 

Checking the return parameters 

Measurement4 

Epilog for measurement series4 (testType == "CIRCULARITY") 

... 

Epilog for test series (testType == "FRAME") 

 
testType == "FRAME" marks the call to start and end of the test series. The other 
parameters with this call are irrelevant. testType == "CIRCULARITY" identifies a 
circularity test measurement. "EQUABILITY" stands for the synchronous operation 
axis test and "UNIVERSAL" for the universal axis test. 
 
In the calls placed before and after a measurement, the further call parameters of 
the program contain the specific information about the measurement in accordance 
with the table. 
 

Description of the call parameters 

All position values refer to the machine coordinate system (MCS).
