Probing

Automatic probing (crosshairs)

The process of probing automatically with crosshairs is identical to probing manually with crosshairs

except that the user does not press the Enter key to enter points.

Enable auto-enter for manual probing.

To probe part features automatically:

1 Select the feature to be measured.

The Circle measurement is selected in

this example.

2 Position the probe over the desired feature location.

3 The point will be acquired after the crosshair timeout de-

lay, unless the stage is moved before the delay is complete. If

the stage is moved, the delay will be reinitiated.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all the required points have

been probed.

5 Press the Finish key to complete the feature measurement and store the fea-

ture in the feature list. The feature and probed points can be reviewed in detail by

touching the View button if desired.
