19.27 How to integrate a result from the

2D mode into a measurement program?

Instruction manual for MH & MH+M

As you have seen earlier in this chapter, the 2D mode can exclusively be accessed via the

ST2 mode. That means, that the 2D mode is included in the ST2 mode, as well as in the Angle or Min, Max, Delta mode.

Therefore, in order to be able to re-execute a 2D calculation sequence later on another piece to be measured, one or more results from the 2D mode must be saved in the history of the

ST2 mode.

The measurement blocks of the ST2 mode are generally called M1, M2, M3, M4, ... (M for

"measure" in English). The measurement blocks of the 2D mode are generally called C1, C2,

C3, ... (C for "circle" in English). This is why you will be able to store a 2D result in the ST2 mode memory by pressing the context-based action . A block C of the memory of the 2D mode then becomes an M block in the ST2 mode memory.

Below is an example of a program creation containing results from the 2D mode.

1. Calibrate the probe to enter ST2 mode

(P1)

2. Capturing the reference (R2)

3. Measurement of any point (M3)

4. Measurement of any other point (M4)

5. Switching from ST2 mode to 2D mode

6. Measurement of the Z coordinates of two circles

7. Rotate the part by a given angle

8. Measurement of the Y coordinates of the two circles

9. C1 and C2 are raw data ready to be used

10.Calculation of the distance between these two circles (C3)

11. C3 is sent in the memory of ST2 and becomes M5

12. Measurement of any point (M6)

13. Measurement of any other point (M7) and continuation of the program

14. Saving the program on USB key

The screen shots below succinctly describe the previously explained process. We will consider that the basic principles of the ST2 mode (calibration of the probe, ...) and 2D

(measurement of raw data, ..) are known.

From the ST2 mode where there are already four memory blocks (probe calibration, capturing the reference and any two measurements), switch to the 2D mode via the secondary function menu . Once in the 2D mode measure two circles using the normal procedure explained in this chapter.

Now that the two circles are measured, calculate the distance between their two centres.

A new C3 block is created in the memory. Now you have to transfer it to the ST2 mode memory by pressing the button. At this moment a beep should sound.

A new M5 block is now created in the ST2 mode memory. This block represents the distance between the two circles measured in the 2D mode. The user can continue to feed ST2 mode memory by continuing the measurements or saving the program.

When the software arrives at the M5 block during the execution of this program, it will automatically enter the 2D mode and ask the operator to measure the two circles he needs to set the M5 distance.
