On a machine tool, a program receives data from a scanning or analogue probe, measuring a feature of a workpiece. This data is combined with assumed machine position data during the scanning movement. This avoids having to break into the servo feedback loop to get actual measured machine position data. The assumed machine position data can be derived from a part program which controls the scanning movement. Several ways are described for compensating for errors between the assumed machine position values and the actual values.
