To Add a Probe
Adding, or creating, a probe retrieves information about this probe (that is, the probe model geometry and parameters) into the CMM process. Once a probe is added, you can use it for creating or redefining Measure steps.
1. Do one of the following:
Click Inspect > Probes.
Click Probes on the Probes tab in the CMM Work Center dialog box.
The Probe Setup dialog box opens. In the Probe Setup dialog box you can add a default probe or a probe from the probe library.
2. Do the following if you want to add a default probe:
a. Click File > Default Probes. CMM displays the list of default probes that you can use for the workcell. The default probe can be of any of the following types:
Fixed Probe—The probe is interpreted as having a fixed probe head. You can change only the tip to be used.
Rotating Probe—The probe is interpreted as having a rotating probe head. You can change both the tip to be used and the orientation.
b. Select the default probe that you want to use and click Open.
CMM adds the selected probe to the list of probes in the Probe Setup dialog box.
3. Do the following if you want to add a probe from the probe library:
a. Click File > Open Probe Library. The file browser opens.
b. Select a part or assembly.
CMM looks for CMM-specific information in the probe model and sets the appropriate probe parameters. If the required coordinate systems, or some of the probe parameters, are missing, an error message appears and you must select another probe. After successful retrieval of the probe, CMM adds the selected probe to the list of probes in the Probe Setup dialog box.
4. To add a scanning probe click Scanning on the Settings tab in the Probe Setup dialog box.
