Specifying probe data collection parameters

Video probe data collection parameters are specified in the Tool Options portion of the probe pop-up

screen and include:

• The number of points to be collected for line, circle and arc measurement by the multiple edge probe

• Delays after the stage motion stops for auto-point entry using crosshair and edge probes

• The minimum stage motion required to restart the crosshair timeout delay for auto-point entry

using crosshair probes

• The line thickness of the crosshair probe

Usually, the data collection parameters are specified for a probe and remain unchanged until significant

changes are encountered in the part probing process, or the system hardware is changed.

To specify probe data collection parameters:

1 Touch any part of the current

probe on the Video window. The

probe pop-up screen will be dis-

played.

2 Touch the Tool Option but-

ton. The probe data collection

parameter setup fields will be

displayed.

Only a few data collection pa-

rameters are required, and they

are different for crosshair and

edge probes.
