### Other Edit Boxes for the General tab

These other edit boxes on the General tab allow you to edit the following options:

Scale Factor | The Scale Factor box scales the measured data by whatever factor is entered. For example, if a circle is measured and has a diameter of 1.0 inches and the scale factor is 0.95, then the measured value will be reported as 0.95 inches.
Minutes to Save | The Minutes to Save box allows you to enter the amount of minutes that PC-DMIS will wait before auto saving your part program. The least amount of minutes you can enter is one. The Minutes to Save box becomes available when you select the Automatic File Save check box.
Find Nominals Tolerance | This box becomes available when you first select the Find Nominals check box. See "Find Nominals". The Find Nominals Tolerance box allows you to type the amount of tolerance that PC-DMIS uses when finding the nominals. The default is 10 mm. When you initially set this value and click OK (and whenever you perform a find nominals operation in learn mode), PC-DMIS checks this value against the active tip's radius. If this value is less than the tip's radius, PC-DMIS will change it to match the diameter of the active tip.
Show Deviations Tolerance | The Show Deviations Tolerance box allows you to type the amount of tolerance that PC-DMIS uses when PC-DMIS is showing hit deviations. This option is only available when you first select the Show Hit Deviation check box.
Deviation Arrow Multiplier | The Deviation Arrow Multiplier box is only available when you first select the Show Hit Deviation check box. An arrow appears in the Graphics Display window marking each hit taken, showing the deviation. The larger the value entered in this field, the greater the size of the arrow.
Thickness | The Thickness box works with the Thickness for Point Only Mode Points check box. If you select the Thickness for Point Only Mode Points check box, the thickness in this box will be applied to each point created by Point Only Mode. See "Point Only Mode" and "Thickness for Point Only Mode Points" for additional information.
