### Parameter Settings: Motion tab

Parameter Settings dialog box—Motion tab

The Motion tab allows you to change the distances that the probe will be allowed to travel when taking a hit. It will also allow you to set the speed that PC-DMIS will use to take a hit and move from point to point.

Note: You can determine whether the speed boxes (Move Speed, Touch Speed, and Scan Speed) list the values as either mm/sec or as a percentage of the total allowed speed, by selecting or deselecting the Display Absolute Speeds check box in the Part / Machine tab of the Setup Options dialog box.

To edit information in the Motion tab:

1. Access the Parameter Settings dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Parameters).

2. Click on the Motion tab. You'll see a variety of boxes.

3. Highlight the value you want to change.

4. Type a new value.

5. Click Apply or OK. PC-DMIS inserts any changed command into your part program.

To reset the motion values to the original factory setting, press the Recall button. The Recall button will return the displayed motion values to the values stored in the PC-DMIS Settings Editor. If the Defaults button is selected, the displayed values will be saved to the Settings Editor. For information on the PC-DMIS Settings Editor, view the "Modifying Registry Entries" section.

Changing Animation Speeds: If you want to modify your offline animation speeds, see the "Execution area" in the General tab of the SetUp Options dialog box. In addition, see "Executing and Debugging Part Programs Off-Line" in "Working in Off-line Mode".
