Probe BOSS
This command locates the center of an external cylinder (a boss). The center of the cylinder is indicated by the next GOTO point after the VERIFY command is issued.
Description of motion: The probe is positioned at a particular location. After the probe cycle is invoked, the probe moves at rapid traverse to the clearance height above the target point. It then moves in this clearance plane in negative X direction to diameter/2 + the TO value (the value of u201cau201d from the PROBE/RANGE command). Then the probe moves down in Z to the depth, over to the diameter, back to the TO value, and up to clearance plane. This motion is repeated for 4 positions about the boss.
The PROBE/RANGE command must be programmed prior to using this command.

Parameter Description
DIAMET, a
The outside diameter of the cylinder.
CLEAR, b
An optional couplet. It is used to indicate the height above the Z value of the target point to change from rapid to feed rate. If not programmed, a height of zero is used.
DEPTH, c
An optional couplet. It is used to indicate the depth below the target point at which the touches will take place. If not programmed, a depth of zero is assumed.
PERMIN, d
IPM
MMPM
Indicates the feed units and velocity to be used during the probing motions. This couplet is optional. If not programmed, the most recent feed velocity is to be used.
OSETNO, e
ADJUST
These parameters are used to indicate how to use the results of the probing operation on the machine. They do not affect the subsequent motion.
