Important: To accurately measure a hole radius and determine its center,
the exact probe tip radius must be available t o the control. This value is
entered either through AMP, through paramacro system parameter #5096,
or through the probe parameter table discussed in section 27.5.
Table 27.A shows the paramacro system parameters used to relay
information from the probing operation to the programmer. Refer to the
paramacro chapter for details on these system parameters.

#5094 G38 radius ofhole
An easy way to view these parameters is to copy them to a common
parameter that may be accessed on a paramacro screen; for example, the
program block:
#500=#5094;
would take the value of the cycles calculated hole radius and copy it to
common parameter 500 that may be viewed in the macro table {COM 2A
PARAM}. Note that the {COM 2A PARAM} parameters also allow a
parameter description to be entered in the table, such as “HOLE RADIUS
VALUE”.
