### Probe Qual Analog Disk Use Plane On Bottom

PC-DMIS will do one of the following Disk Stylus calibrations based on this setting:

- When this entry is set to 1, PC-DMIS takes four hits on top of the sphere using a circular pattern on the bottom of the disk stylus and calculates a plane from it. Measuring a plane helps ensure that the hits for calibrating the face are oriented properly to reflect the actual plane of the disk. This is the default for the traditional calibration method using discrete hits.

- When this entry is set to 0, PC-DMIS does not attempt to measure a plane on the bottom of the disk's face. Instead, it uses the design orientation of the disk. This is the default for the Renishaw scan-based calibration.

Entry Name: ProbeQualAnalogDiskUsePlaneOnBottom

Entry Type: Whole Number specifying TRUE (1) or FALSE (0). Default value is TRUE (1).

Note: In PC-DMIS 2012 MR1 and higher, the ProbeQualAnalogDiskUsePlaneOnBottom registry setting provides the initial defaults for new probes. You can then define specific settings for individual probes in the Edit Probe Component dialog box.
