There are 8 Side probing cycles. 4 are inside probing cycles and 4 are Outside probing cycles.

The one you choose will be determined by whether you are probing the inside or the outside of a part and also which axis you will be probing X or Y

When entering new values or changing between inside and outside remember to press the Save button to make the new values or selection active

First select Inside or outside by pressing the Inside/Outside button on the probing cycles screen 

Next press the Save settings button to complete the change 

X & Y offsets can be used to compensate for errors or offset the probe from the Spindle because it is in a position different from the spindle. 

The probing cycle can be stopped by pressing the same or a different probing cycle button.

As of Software version 5.0 and above the user can select which Work offset the probe result will be applied to by selecting a appropriate work offset button before starting the probing cycle. Please be aware that only the selected work offset will be updated.

Inside, Side of part probing

• The Red dot indicates the position of the probe at the start of the probing cycle and the probe will move towards the Yellow line which represents the object being probed.
• The probing will occur at the speed entered in the Probing Feedrate box 
• After touch off the Axis will return to the start position at rapid speed.
• Enter the Probe diameter into the Probe Diameter box 

Probe will start moving in the +Y direction at the specified Probing feed rate until it touches the part.

The DRO will update with the value in the Y Position box 

The Probe will return to its start position and display it's new coordinate based on its relative position to the probed surface.

Probe will start moving in the -Y direction at the specified Probing feed rate until it touches the part.

The DRO will update with the value in the Y Position box 

The Probe will return to its start position and display it's new coordinate based on its relative position to the probed surface.

Probe will start moving in the -X direction at the specified Probing feed rate until it touches the part.

The DRO will update with the value in the X Position box 

The Probe will return to its start position and display it's new coordinate based on its relative position to the probed surface.

Probe will start moving in the +X direction at the specified Probing feed rate until it touches the part.

The DRO will update with the value in the X Position box 

The Probe will return to its start position and display it's new coordinate based on its relative position to the probed surface.

Outside, Side of part Probing

• The Red dot indicates the position of the probe at the start of the probing cycle and the probe will move towards the Yellow line which represents the object being probed.
• The probing will occur at the speed entered in the Probing Feedrate box 
• After touch off the Axis will return to the start position at rapid speed.
• Enter the Probe diameter into the Probe Diameter box 

Probe will start moving in the -Y direction at the specified Probing feed rate until it touches the part.

The DRO will update with the value in the Y Position box 

The Probe will return to its start position and display it's new coordinate based on its relative position to the probed surface.

Probe will start moving in the +Y direction at the specified Probing feed rate until it touches the part.

The DRO will update with the value in the Y Position box 

The Probe will return to its start position and display it's new coordinate based on its relative position to the probed surface.

Probe will start moving in the +X direction at the specified Probing feed rate until it touches the part.

The DRO will update with the value in the X Position box 

The Probe will return to its start position and display it's new coordinate based on its relative position to the probed surface.

Probe will start moving in the -X direction at the specified Probing feed rate until it touches the part.

The DRO will update with the value in the X Position box 

The Probe will return to its start position and display it's new coordinate based on its relative position to the probed surface.

INFORMATION: If you select the wrong probing cycle by mistake, Press Feed hold or ESC on the keyboard. This will bring probing to a halt and you can select the correct one.

CAUTION: It is advisable to quickly test your touch probe before starting a probing cycle to ensure it is working properly. This is done by triggering the Probe and observing the indication at the top of the screen. When triggered the indication will change green This is done by touching the probe tip in case of a 3D touch probe or by tapping the plate against the tool in case of a probing plate.
