## Using the Wrist in a Part Program

On machines that support it, PC-DMIS will automatically sense when the wrist has been rotated with the jog box. The tip offsets will dynamically be updated based on the current A,B angles. That is, the XYZ readout will display the current tip position as it is being rotated. There are four ways (discussed below) to add a new A,B tip combination into a part program.

Once you have added a new A,B tip combination into your part program by using one of the options below, PC-DMIS displays the active tip as programmed in the part program in the Active tip drop-down list on the toolbar. This is the prior TIP/ command above where the cursor is in the Edit window. In order to move the wrist to this A,B angle combination, pull down and close the Tip List box. PC-DMIS will ask if you want to rotate the probe. A Yes response will rotate the wrist to the desired position. This is useful when you want to go back and insert measurements and moves into the part program.
