## Working with Measurement Strategies

Probe Toolbox—Measurement Strategies tab

With the Measurement Strategies tab you can easily swap in and out predefined strategies that change the way PC-DMIS executes some features. Strategies are contained within custom-built DLL files to provide a modular way to extend PC-DMIS's default functionality to more easily meet individual customer needs. A few measurement strategies are included to enhance specific auto features. Simply click the down arrow icon and choose the strategy you want to use.

When you select a strategy from the list, the contents of the Probe Toolbox will undergo these changes:

- Only applicable tabs on the toolbox will be visible. You use these tabs to define basic properties used by the measurement strategy.

- The Measurement Strategies tab will indicate what the new strategy will do.

- A Properties button appears allowing you to modify properties that you cannot set elsewhere in the Auto Feature dialog box or Probe Toolbox.

For example, if you loaded in the Circle Analog Scan Strategy, the Probe Toolbox would change to this:
