## Off-line Probes

With the off-line version, all the probe definition and calibration capabilities as defined in the on-line version can be used. However, values can only be keyed in. Measurements cannot be made. (For example, you cannot actually measure a calibration artifact to find the diameter of a probe.)

See "Defining Probes" in the "Defining Hardware" section for information on defining a probe.

Note: It is suggested (but not mandatory) that the probe used to create the off-line part program be the same as the probe that will be used to execute the part program on-line.
