#### Editing a Temperature Probe Component

You do not need to calibrate a temperature probe. However, if you are using a changeable temperature sensor, you need to ensure that the theoretical vector of the temperature probe is correct. For example, if you are using a knuckle component, you can adjust the theoretical vector by changing the rotation angle about the connection.

To edit a temperature probe component:

1. Double-click on a component in the Probe Description area in the PC-DMIS Probe Utilities dialog box. To access this dialog box, select Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe from the menu bar. For help, refer to the "Understanding the Probe Utilities Dialog Box" topic in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.

The Edit Probe Component dialog box appears.

2. Type the desired angle (any angle from +180° to -180°) in the Default rotation angle about connection box, and click OK.

The graphic below shows an example for a knuckle component.
