To List Information About Probes
The
icon in the
Probe Setup dialog box allows you to list the model name and parameters of any or all the probes currently present in the model. Select a probe name in the
Probe Setup dialog box and click the
icon, or click
View >
All Probes to view parameters of all the probes. The information will be displayed in the Information Window.
If a probe is used by a Measure step and has been modified since the Measure step is last regenerated, the probe info will show the new value and the original value of a probe parameter, for example:
TIP1_DIAMETER 0.5 – modified; old value is 0.8
The Where Used option in the Probe Setup dialog box provides information on all probes used in Measure steps in the current model. The format is as in the following example:
-----------------------------------------------------
PROBES ARE USED IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
=====================================================================

Information about probes used in the CMM model, including all components in probe assemblies, can be output to the CMM BOM.
