To create a Change Probe item

Use a Change Probe item to insert a reminder to change the probe into the inspection sequence. Use it to specify the probe and sensor details, the probing angle, and whether you want to display a message when the item is played.

Note: Change Probe items are only available when creating inspections for Manual machines.

To create a Change Probe item:

  1. Connect to the measuring device.
  2. Click Measure tab > Items panel > Probe Change. The Change Probe Item dialog is displayed.

  3. In the Probe list, select the probe to be used. The Sensor box displays details of the sensor used for the selected probe.
  4. If you are using an indexable probe head and you want to specify the orientation to be used for the inspection, enter the A or B angles for the head.

  6. In the Change Probe Item dialog, click OK to add the item to the inspection sequence. For example:
