## Calibrating Vision Probes

Calibration for your Vision probe is accomplished from the Probe Utilities dialog box. In most cases, each of the calibrations should be completed before you can begin measuring with your Vision probe. To access this dialog box, select a probe that has already been added from the Edit Window and click F9 or select the Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe menu item.
