o131 - Measure Outside Edge

Locate and measure an outside edge.

First, the macro probes a surface to obtain a reference (Z position of the part).

Then, it moves in the specified axis and direction until the edge is detected.

Syntax

G65 P131 H<axis> E<direction> D<distance>

H	Axis number to probe: 0 = X 1 = Y
E	Probe direction: 1 = positive direction -1 = negative direction Must be either +1 or −1.
D	Approximate Distance to Edge A positive number that gives an estimated travel distance to the edge from the starting point.
J	Overedge This parameter (if provided) defines how far past the expected edge the probe should move. If not provided, it defaults to the variable _probe_overedge.
