Latching
The following steps must be carried out for the "flying measurement" function.
- Selection of the process image (0x1706 & 0x1B06) under the box (AX2000-B110) process data: The link is modified automatically.
 - The latch function (IN1MODE 26) is activated at digital input 1 by means of the Drive Tool.
 - The MC function block MC_TouchProbe is used in the PLC project (TcMC.lib)
