Shank measurement area | Select the type of shank measurement:

- By Tip Number option: Select this option if you have created a probe with two styli on one mount point. One styli represents the ball, and the other styli represents the shank. The tip number for the ball is between 1 and 5. The tip number for the shank is the tip number for the ball plus 5. The VWMP command will change the tip number when a point will be measured with the shank. For example, it changes 1 to 6, 2 to 7, 3 to 8, 4 to 9, and 5 to 10.

- By Offset option: Select this option if you want to measure a point along the shank direction and then construct an offset point to get the original measure position.

Im mersion depth box: Type the offset of the measured point along the shank direction.
