### New Probe File

Once you have calibrated the wrist, you can change the tip attached to the wrist and do a tip calibration. To calibrate a new tip on the wrist:

1. Access the Probe Utilities dialog box by selecting the Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe menu option.

2. Make sure the probe description matches the new tip that you have loaded.

3. Select one or more A,B combination(s) from the Active Tip list that correspond to this new tip. If a desired A,B combination is not in the list, you can add it by selecting the Add Angles button. You must select at least one A,B combination from the tip list in order to calibrate the tip. If you select more than one, PC-DMIS will average the results to get a more accurate tip offset.

4. When you have the desired tips selected, press the Measure button. This will display the Measure Probe dialog box. This allows you to set the number of hits, prehit / retract, and speeds.

5. Select the Calibrate Tips option button from the Options To Calibrate

6. Set the desired parameters.

7. Click the Measure button.

PC-DMIS will begin to measure the sphere with the selected A,B angle combinations.
