Probe in Port #
This line on the Probing tab indicates the port number on the probe changer of the probe or stylus that you are currently using. This option is only available if you set up a probe changer.
If you aren't using a probe changer, or if your current probe isn't in a probe changer, then PC-DMIS displays text informing you that your current probe or stylus isn't in the probe changer or that a probe changer isn't being used.
See "Ports Tab" in the "Setting Up Probe Changer Options" topic for information on adding probes or styli to a probe changer.
