Control method, non-transitory computer readable medium and controller of numerical control machine tool

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a controller to execute a control process of a numerical control machine tool, the control process comprising:

• generating, based on an instruction for controlling a three-dimensional measuring device different from the numerical control machine tool, a flag which designates an operation type of the numerical control machine tool and an operating variable for controlling an operation of the numerical control machine tool;
• storing the flag in a flag storage area of a memory and storing the operating variable in an operating variable storage area of the memory;
• selecting an operation to be executed by the numerical control machine tool by referring to a value of the flag stored in the flag storage area of the memory;
• and
• executing a control of the selected operation of the numerical control machine tool in accordance with a value of the operating variable stored in the operating variable storage area of the memory, wherein the operating variable is a selection within the designated operation type.

A controller which controls a numerical control machine tool, comprising:

• a generator configured to generate, based on an instruction for controlling a three-dimensional measuring device different from the numerical control machine tool, a flag which designates an operation type of the numerical control machine tool and an operating variable for controlling an operation of the numerical control machine tool;
• a memory configured to store the flag in a flag storage area and to store the operating variable in an operating variable storage area;
• a processor configured to select an operation to be executed by the numerical control machine tool by referring to a value of the flag stored in the flag storage area of the memory, and
• configured to execute a control of the selected operation of the numerical control machine tool in accordance with a value of the operating variable stored in the operating variable storage area of the memory, wherein the operating variable is a selection within the designated operation type.
