## Working with Measurement Strategies

Probe Toolbox—Measurement Strategies tab

With the Measurement Strategies tab you can easily swap in and out predefined strategies that change the way PC-DMIS executes some features. Strategies are contained within custom-built DLL files to provide a modular way to extend PC-DMIS's default functionality to more easily meet individual customer needs. Simply click the down arrow icon and choose the strategy you want to use.

When you select a strategy from the list, the contents of the Probe Toolbox will undergo these changes:

- Only applicable tabs on the toolbox will be visible.

- The Measurement Strategies tab will indicate what the new strategy will do.

- A Properties button appears allowing you to modify properties used by the strategy.

For example, if you loaded in the CircleAnalogScanStrategy, the Probe Toolbox would change to this:
