### Probe Toolbox: Feature Locator tab

Probe Toolbox—Feature Locator tab

The Feature Locator tab allows you give assistance to the operator by instructions for the current feature. Assistance is given by providing one or more of the following prompts during feature execution:

- A Screen capture bitmap, showing the feature's location.

- An Audio prompt, providing audible instructions via a prerecorded .wav file.

- A Text prompt, providing written instructions.

To provide Feature Locator information:

1. Click the button next to the (speaker) button to browse to the .wav file to associate with this auto feature. The speaker button must be selected for the audio file to play.

2. Click the Feature Locator Bitmap File toggle button to toggle the display of the associated bitmap.

3. Click the button next to the (Feature Locator Capture BMP) button to browse to the .bmp file to associate with this auto feature. The bitmap button must be selected for the bitmap to be displayed on the Feature Locator tab.

4. Rather than browsing for a bitmap image, you can click the button to capture an image from the current Cad View or Live View (whichever is active). This file will be indexed and saved in the PC-DMIS install directory. For example, a part program named Vision.prg would yield bitmaps named Vision0.bmp, Vision1.bmp, Vision2.bmp, etc.

5. Type a message to be displayed as a caption in the text box. For example, "Measure Circle 1" will be displayed on this tab with subsequent feature execution.
