#### Parameter Sets area

The Parameter Sets area allows you to create, save, and use saved sets of probe calibration parameters. This information is saved as part of the probe file and includes the settings for number of point, prehit/retract, movespeed, touchspeed, system mode, qualification mode settings, and the qualification tool's name and location.

To create your own named parameter sets:

1. Allow PC-DMIS to automatically update your probe file to at least the version 3.5 format.

2. Access the Probe Utilities dialog box.

3. Click the Measure button. The Measure Probe dialog box appears.

4. Modify any parameters on the Measure Probe dialog box.

5. From the Parameter Sets area, type a name for the new parameter set in the Name box and click Save. PC-DMIS displays a message telling you that your new parameter set has been created. You can easily delete a saved parameter set by selecting it and clicking Delete.

6. Click the Measure button if you want to calibrate your probe tips right away. If you want to calibrate them later, click Cancel.

7. On the Probe Utilities dialog box, click OK. Clicking Cancel on this dialog box will delete any changes made to the probe file; this includes the creation of any parameter sets.

Once you create a new parameter set you can use it in the AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE command (see "AutoCalibrate Probe").

Note: Parameter sets are specific to the probe that was in use when they were created.
