1. Access the SetUp Options dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Setup).

2. Select the Part/Machine tab.

3. Click the Probe Head Orientation button. The Probe Head Wrist Angle Configuration dialog box will appear.

4. Select the appropriate axes for the AB angles for both the Arm1 and Arm2 arms (if applicable).

5. Click the OK button.

1. Scroll to the location in the Edit window where you want the Fly command.

2. Select the Active check box .

3. Type a radius value.

4. Click the Create button.

5. The Fly Mode will automatically be placed in the current part program at the designated location. The Edit window command line for this option reads:

FLY/TOG1,TOG2

TOG1
This toggle field switches between either ON or OFF. If ON then PC-DMIS activates the command. If OFF, PC-DMIS skips the command.

TOG2
This field lists the value for the radius.

If you have selected an illegal position, a message appears informing you that PC-DMIS cannot insert at the current line. The message then asks if it should insert the command at the next legal position.

- If you click the Yes button, PC-DMIS will move the Fly command down to the end of the current feature in the Edit window.

- If you click the No button, PC-DMIS will cancel the Fly command and return you to the Part/Machine tab.

When the part program is executed, PC-DMIS will move the probe a predetermined distance from the move point without any hesitation. The distance moved is the value entered in the Radius box.

Dialog Box Item | Description
Probe Head Orientation button | The Probe Head Orientation button allows you to configure the probe head wrist AB angles for multiple arms. To configure the AB wrist angles for multiple arms:
Fly Mode area | The Fly Mode area provides a way to move the probe around the part in a smooth, non-stopping motion. A move point must be inserted into the part program before using this option. (See "Inserting a Move Point Command" in the "Inserting Move Commands" section.) The Fly command can only be inserted before or after any feature in the part program.

To use the Fly Mode:

Wrist Warning Delta box | This is a numerical value defining the minimum change in the wrist angle required before PC-DMIS requires you to change the current wrist position. This only affects users with a DCC CMM with a PH9 articulated wrist.
Manual Hit Retract box This option is only available with certain DCC CMM types (such as LK and Mitutoyo). | The Manual Hit Retract box allows you to type the retract distance the CMM will automatically travel after a manual hit is taken. If the Manual Hit Retract value is changed from either the default or from the last used value, then PC-DMIS places a retract command (shown as "MANRETRACT/" and then the value) in the current part program 's Edit window at the cursor's location. As manual hits are taken, the CMM will retract by the new value stated on this command.

For example, if you change the Manual Hit Retract value from the .1 default to .003 then the command "MANRETRACT/0.003" appears in the Edit window.

Scanning Min Time Delta box | This value allows PC-DMIS to reduce the amount of points that are scanned by deleting hits that are read in faster than the specified time delay in milliseconds.
Scanning Min Distance Delta box | This value allows you to reduce the measured data by deleting hits that are closer than the distance specified in millimeters. The reduction of hits happens as data comes from the machine. PC-DMIS only keeps the points that are set apart by more than the specified increments.
Display Absolute Speed box | If the Display Absolute Speed check box is selected, PC-DMIS will display the speed values in other dialog boxes as an absolute value instead of a percentage. This value corresponds to the set unit type of the part program (inches or millimeters).
Top Speed (mm/sec) box | The Top Speed (mm/sec) box allows you to reset the top speed that the machine can travel. The value that is specified cannot exceed the machine's designated top speed. The value that is set works in conjunction with the Move Speed option.
