#### Creating and Editing Tutor to PC-DMIS Probe Map Files

To properly translate programs from Tutor into PC-DMIS, you will need a probe map file that relates the Tutor file's probes with PC-DMIS probes. A Tutor's probe command is identified by two numbers that refer to a specific head and tip respectively.

To create a new Tutor to PC-DMIS Probe Map File:

1. Begin the import procedure as described in "Importing a Tutor File".

2. When the TutorPCDMIS Translator Options dialog box appears, click the New button. The T2PFile dialog box appears.

T2PFile dialog box

3. If you need to specify more information, click Add to add new rows.

4. In the Head column for each row, type the value of 1 through 100 to identify the probe head in Tutor.

5. In the Tip column for each row, type a value of one through five to identify the probe tip in Tutor.

6. In the Name PRB column for each row, type the PC-DMIS probe tip angle that you want to use for the Head and Tip of that row. For example, the probe map information in the following table tells the Tutor translator to use PC-DMIS's T5A30B30 probe tip angle when it encounters a probe command of 2,2 in the Tutor file.

Head | Tip | Name PRB
2 | 2 | T5A30B30

7. If you make a mistake, click the Clear All button. This clears the information from the dialog box allowing you to start over.

8. Click the … button to save this Tutor to PC-DMIS probe map file to your computer.
