### Defining a Move Exclusion Zone

There are some things to keep in mind while defining an exclusion zone:

- There needs to be a MOVE/EXCLUSIVE_ZONE command before each section of motion commands in the part program that commands either arm into the overlapping region of the dual arm volume. The MOVE/EXCLUSIVE_ZONE command should define a 3D box around all the motion that is about to be commanded in the overlapped area of the dual arm CMM.

- There must be an MOVE/EXCLUSIVE_ZONE=OFF command after the probe has been withdrawn from the overlapped part of the dual arm CMM.

For example if you want each arm to check a common sphere using automatic sphere commands, you should set up the part program like this:

MOVE/EXCLUSIVE_ZONE=ON (for Arm 1)
AUTO/SPHERE(for Arm 1)
MOVE/EXCLUSIVE_ZONE=OFF (for Arm 1)
MOVE/EXCLUSIVE_ZONE=ON (for Arm 2)
AUTO/SPHERE (for Arm 2)
MOVE/EXCLUSIVE_ZONE=OFF (for Arm 2)

The following steps describe how to define the exclusion zone.
