iTNC530 probing in ISO

iTNC530 probing in ISO

iTNC530 probing in ISO

(OP)
I have written an ISO program for a HBM using a iTNC530 control, (except for the part probing routines.) I will have a Renishaw RMP60
part probe to use. How do I use the Heidenhain probe routines in an
ISO program?
  In our other machines using Fanuc controls we just inserted a few
lines of code in the program to activate and run the probe. I have explored the Active Editor Pro software from Renishaw, and it appears cumbersome, and impossible to verify the output.
  I am looking for any tips, samples of what other programmers are using for ISO programs in the iTNC530.

Thanks in advance

RE: iTNC530 probing in ISO

You should be able to insert the Heidenhain probe cycle into the program. Just insert your cycle def...then a cycle call...you can do right at the machine. Shouldn't be a problem....
