Creating a Part Program Program steps are recorded automatically as measurements, tolerancing, reporting and other tasks are performed. When the program is complete, it can be saved, or it can be run to gather feature data and then saved. Often programs simply consist of typical measurement session steps without any special adjustments. However, it sometimes becomes necessary to adjust default system behavior to accommodate the requirements of a specific application. This is more common in multi-sensor systems that include touch probes. Two programming adjustments are: • Adjusting Probe Path Data • Inserting Goto steps Adjusting Probe Path Data Probe path data settings define the default touch probe behavior for CNC systems and are described in Configuring Probe Path Data in Section 3: Probes. The default probe path data configuration can be changed prior to probing a feature as part of a measuring/programming process. Some reasons for changing the default settings include: • Changing the non-probing speed to test a new CNC program • Removing a clearance distance because a Goto step will be used instead • Changing the search distance for parts with highly variable features NOTES The probe path data configuration can also be changed in the edit mode discussed later in this section. When probe path data are changed, the new probe path data will be used in subsequent touch probe moves until the probe path data are changed again.
To adjust probe path data settings: 1 Long-press the Goto button. The Probe Path Data dialog will be displayed. Measure toolbar > Long-press Goto button 2 Change the desired probe path data settings.
NOTE Probe path data settings are discussed in detail in Probe Path Data in Section 3: Probes.
