Once the graphic representation has been defined and the machine axes are being interpolated, the point capture for the graphics may begin.
The point capture is initiated from the softkey menu. The point capture may be either simple, where the graph is made once (a single whole circle), or continuous where the graph is redrawn for every interpolation of the machine (after every whole circle).
When capturing points in the circularity test, they are not drawn on the graphics of the CNC.
The machine parameters may be modified while capturing points. See "Adjustment of the machine parameters involved" on page 293.
Simple data capture
Data capture is initiated with the SIMPLE softkey. It deletes the graph and starts drawing the circularity error enlarged to the defined scale.
The capture ends after a whole circle or when the STOP softkey is pressed.
Continuous point capture
Data capture is initiated with the CONTINUOUS softkey. It deletes the graph and starts drawing the circularity error enlarged to the defined scale.
The capture ends when the STOP softkey is pressed.
When modifying the machine parameters, it is possible to see the new graph over the previous one or press the CLEAR key to only see the new one.
Stop the point capture
Press the STOP softkey to stop the data capture. It stops the simple or continuous data capture at any time.
This softkey only stops the data capture. It does not stop the movement of the axes. To stop the movement of the axes, press the [STOP] key of the operator panel.
Once the data capture is completed, two lines are drawn on the graph indicating the angular position of the maximum and minimum error.
Delete the graphic representation
Use the CLEAR softkey to delete the graph. It deletes the graph and the data shown over it.
It may be pressed at any time, even while it is being drawn.
