#### To Drop off a Probe without Picking up a New Probe

You may want to drop off the current probe into the probe changer without picking up a new probe from the changer.

To do this:

1. Create a dummy probe file in the Probe Utilities dialog box for a probe that doesn't exist. Name it something like "unload". See the "Defining Probes" topic in the "Defining Hardware" chapter.

2. Click the Setup button. The Probe Setup dialog box appears.

3. Select this probe file from the Probe File Used with Probe Changer to Force Unload Only list.

4. Click OK to close the Probe Setup dialog box.

5. Access the Slots tab in the Probe Changer dialog box and ensure that the probe is NOT assigned to any slot in the probe changer.

6. Click OK to close the Probe Changer dialog box.
