positive logic, or No for negative logic.

Debounce time

Probe debounce time is the duration of uninterrupted probe contact with a surface required for a valid

probe input. Debounce time eliminates measurement inaccuracies caused by CMM machine vibration and

mechanical switch noise. The default 0.02 seconds of debounce time is adequate for most applications.

Increase the debounce time in 0.02 second increments to accommodate noisy environments. Enter the

debounce time into the Debounce time data field in seconds.
