## Inserting a Move All Command

The MOVE/ALL command will function with any motorized probe head - continuous or indexing - and any probe combination. | The Insert | Move | Move All menu option inserts a MOVE/ALL command into the Edit window. A MOVE/ALL command is the same as a MOVE/POINT command combined with a TIP / command. This command has the benefit of rotating the probe head together with machine movement.

When using a wrist device (PHS, CW43L, or CW43) this movement is synchronized such that the wrist's AB movement will start and end its motion at the same time that the machine starts and ends the X,Y, and Z movement.

When using this command with an indexable wrist such as a PH10M, this movement cannot be synchronized and will occur at an unspecified time during the machine movement (depending on time delays in the signal processing of the electronic hardware). Because of this, the AB wrist movement may not always complete by the time the machine performs the X, Y, and Z move.

The MOVE/ALL Edit window command looks like this:

MOVE/ALL,X,Y,Z,TIP=T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=0, 0, 1, ANGLE=0

- X,Y,Z allow you to specify the X, Y, and Z coordinates to which to move the probe.

- TIP= T1A0B0 shows the AB wrist movement to perform.

- SHANKIJK = IJK allows you to specify the shank 's vector.

- ANGLE=0 specifies the theoretical angle.

Note that the probe head angle will usually be a predefined TIP position.
