### Measurement Command Conditions

Measurement commands for PC-DMIS must contain the positioning points and measured points. Tutor programs should meet the followings conditions:

1. The Measurement Command has an associated PATH. The most frequent case is that the translator reads the Path and turns its sequence into a MOVE/POINT command for the positioning and HIT/BASIC command for the Measurements. HIT.BASIC example:

HIT/BASIC,9.6603,20.1643,-2.0198,0,-0.9659258,0.258819,9.6603,20.1643,-2.0198,USE THEO = NO.

2. The Measurement Command does not have an associated PATH. In this case the translator starts a Look Ahead procedure to seek the commands for positioning (move) and of measurement (movetf). See the ”r;Look Ahead Procedure” section. At the end of the search the followings conditions can happen:

- All positioning and measured points have been found. In this case the command is translated as suitable in the point 1.

- Not all of the positioning and measured points have been found. In this case the Measurement command is translated using the relearn hit command and the operator is notified:
  HIT/BASIC, RELEARN
  The HIT/BASIC, RELEARN command must be inserted as many times as the number of hits specified in the measurement command.
