Some or all of the following tabs may become available when you define your probe changer from the Probe changer type list and click Apply:

Type | This allows you to select the probe changer type.
Comm | This allows you to work with your computer's serial port connection to the probe changer.
Calibrate | This allows you to choose which active tips to calibrate.
Mount Point | This allows you to change AB wrist values and also provide a safe location that the CMM can move to after each cycle.
Slots | This allows you to define probe or stylus configuration for existing slots in the probe changer rack.

These tabs are described below in greater detail.

See the "Defining Probe Changers" topic in the "Defining Hardware" section provides you with a step by step description of how to setup and calibrate a probe changer. It also describes how you to display an existing probe changer inside the Graphics Display window.
