### Slot Measurement Commands

In PC-DMIS a slot can be measured using the slot auto feature. The rules by which hits are taken are completely different from Tutor, therefore it is not possible to use the path defined in the Tutor part program.

All positioning points before the first hit and after the last hit of the Tutor path are added as MOVE/POINT commands before and after the Auto Slot command.

An appropriate warning message (Comment/Oper) is added in order to alert the operator.

The translator uses the Tutor algorithm to compute the slot and use computed values as theoretical values X, Y, Z, CX, CY, CZ, DM (Length) and DM2 (Width) and leaves PC-DMIS to compute hits. This method requires the probe radius and working plane information. The working plane is determined using original hits. The probe radius is not determined during translation. Without the probe radius the slot is not compensated, so DM and DM2 are not meaningful.

Forcing the Length and Width values to 0 will cause the operator to get an error message at execution time.
