Probe in Slot #

This line in the Probing tab indicates the slot number on the probe changer of the probe or stylus currently being used. This option is only available if a probe changer has been set up.

If you aren't using a probe changer or if your current probe isn't in a probe changer, then PC-DMIS displays text informing you that your current probe or stylus isn't in the probe changer or that a probe changer isn't being used.

See "Slots" under the "Setting Up Probe Changer Options" topic for information on adding probes or styli to a probe changer.
