### Probe Mapping

To properly translate programs from Tutor into PC-DMIS, you will need a probe map file that relates the Tutor file's probe definition with PC-DMIS probe definition. A Tutor's probe command is identified by two numbers that refer to a specific head and tip respectively.
The T2P File dialog lets the operator to create or modify the probe map file.

To open the T2P dialog box click the New or Edit button in the TutorPCDMIS Translator Options dialog box.

T2PFile dialog box

The Add button allows the operator to specify more information adding a new row. For each row the following values are specified:

- Head - Identifies the probe head in Tutor (values 1 through 100).

- Tip - Identifies the probe head in Tutor (values 1 through 5).

- Name PRB - Contains the PC-DMIS probe tip angle to be used for the Head and Tip of that row.

For example, the probe map information in the following table tells the Tutor translator to use PC-DMIS's T5A30B30 probe tip angle when it encounters a probe command of 2,2 in the Tutor file.

Head | Tip | Name PRB
2 | 2 | T5A30B30

The Clear All button clears all information from the dialog box.
The new or modified Tutor to PC-DMIS probe map file is saved by clicking the OK button.
