### AutoCalibrate Probe

PC-DMIS provides a command that automatically calibrates the current probe during part program execution. PC-DMIS will begin the calibration routine once it executes the command.

To insert this command, select the Insert | Calibrate | AutoCalibrate Probe menu option

The Edit window code for this command reads:

AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=, QUALTOOL_MOVED=Y/N, SHOW_SUMMARY=Y/N, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=Y/N

PARAMETER_SET= This field specifies the name of a defined set of probe qualification parameters. A default set named ALL-TIPS-WITH-DEFAULTS is always available and will calibrate all tips defined in the current probe using the default set of qualification parameters, which are the last ones that were used interactively. To create your own parameter sets, see the "Parameter Sets".

QUALTOOL_MOVED= This YES / NO field sets your response to the computer’s query of whether or not the calibration tool has moved.

SHOW_SUMMARY= This YES / NO field determines whether or not PC-DMIS displays a summary of the calibration.

OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE= This YES / NO field determines whether or not PC-DMIS overwrites or appends information sent to the results file. This is the same results file that’s referenced when calibrating interactively.

Pressing F9 on this command block allows you to edit the command block using the Calibrate Tip or Calibrate Probe dialog box.

You can also insert a command to automatically calibrate multiple arms. See "Performing an Automatic Calibration" in the "Using Multiple Arm Mode" section of the PC-DMIS Core documentation for more information.
