#### Table Avoidance area

The Table Avoidance area of the Part/Machine tab allows PC-DMIS to ascertain if the probe will come in contact with the table (or set plane) while in DCC mode.

Press the Measure button and PC-DMIS will ask you to take a hit where the table surface is to be defined. This location defines the threshold for the Z axis. The tolerance field defines a location in the positive Z direction for positive values and in the negative Z direction for negative values, relative to the set plane.

- If a move goes beyond the indicated tolerance, PC-DMIS will display an error message indicating the potential danger.

- If a wrist rotation is requested that will pass through the defined zone, PC-DMIS will display a message alerting you to the error.

Select either Cancel or Continue to terminate or finish the operation.

Example: A tolerance field of .25 will alert PC-DMIS to avoid the indicated threshold plus the tolerance value. If the threshold is on the table surface, PC-DMIS will alert you if the probe tip comes within one quarter inch (or millimeter depending on the set unit type) of the table.

Note: The Table Avoidance option is available with certain interface types only while in DCC mode.
