### Toggling the Laser and Probe Compensation

Laser Toggle (6dof devices only)

To toggle the Laser on and off, use the Tracker | Laser ON/OFF menu item or toolbar icon. This allows you to preserve the laser's life-span (lasers last about 20,000 hours). There also may be time that you just don't want or need to have the laser on. The laser requires about 20 minute to warm-up before you begin using it.

Note: Once you turn the laser off, you will be required to wait for 20 minutes when you turn it back on. You will also need to re-initialize the Leica Tracker.

Probe Comp Toggle

To determine whether or not probe compensation is applied for a measured point, use the Tracker | Probe Comp. ON/OFF menu item or toolbar icon. When this is "on", PC-DMIS will compensate by the radius of the T-Probe tip or the reflector sphere. During bundle alignment creation, PC-DMIS will automatically activate or deactivate probe compensation as needed when measuring points.
