Nearest Furthest Probe The Nearest Furthest probe can be used to find a point on an edge where the edge has the edge is most convex or concave. To use the Nearest Furthest probe: 1 Select the Nearest Furthest probe from the probe menu. Measure toolbar > Probe menu > Nearest Furthest probe 2 Select the desired feature to measure. Measure toolbar > Desired Measure Feature button
3 Probe the target edge with the Nearest Furthest probe. If the part alignment has been done, by long-pressing on the probe rotate handles, the probe rotate handles will turn from circles to squires and will auto align to the edge under measure. 4 Press Enter to enter the Nearest or Furthest point into the measurement. 5 Press Done to complete the measurement.
NOTE Nearest Farthest Probe is off by default. It can be enabled by going to System Settings, Desktop, and then setting the Display nearest furthest probe button to YES.
Auto Point Entry Auto point entry can be enabled for the standard and active crosshair probes in the interactive mode and the program playback mode for non-CNC systems. When the auto point entry function is enabled, a point is collected by the system each time the stage is moved to position the part under a probe. The automatic point entry is delayed until the stage has been motionless for a short time to ensure that the probe is located where the user intended. The timer that controls this delay can be configured in the Auto Enter fields of the Measure Settings screen. The default value will provide adequate delay for most applications. To use the auto point entry function: 2 Select a crosshair probe from the probe menu. Measure toolbar > Probe menu > Standard or active crosshair probe 3 Select the desired feature to measure. Measure toolbar > Desired Measure Feature button 6 A small red dot will appear in the horizontal divider bar between the Part View and the measure prompt viewports. This red dot is the activation button for the auto point entry timer. Press the red dot to enable the timer. 4 Move the stage to position the feature under the probe. As you move, the dots will turn green indicating that the timer is armed. 5 When you stop moving the stage, the dots will turn yellow and begin to disappear to the left. Shortly before the point is probed the dots will turn red. A point will automatically be probed at the current crosshair position. When the point is entered, the dots will become black. When the stage is moved again, the timer will restart and green dots will be shown again. NOTE The stage can be moved to reposition the point to be probed while the timer is counting down and the dots are either green or yellow. When the dots are red, moving the stage will not restart the timer. If you accidentally enter an incorrect point position, simply press the Undo button in the system menu to remove the point.
