Graphical Representation area
Show
current probe position on screen check box
The Show current probe position on screen check
box shows a graphical representation of the probe on screen, relative
to the machine when you move the probe's position using the jog box. This
is helpful when you work in Online mode. When you use the jog box to move the probe, a graphical representation of the probe also moves on the
PC-DMIS Graphic Display window. This only functions when you run PC-DMIS
in Online mode connected to a physical machine and the measurement routine has
an alignment.
Show deviation arrow on screen
check box
The Show deviation arrow on screen check box
shows a 3D arrow in the Graphic Display window, which indicates the direction
of deviation during execution. The With
Auto Zoom check box in the Distance Target area must be
marked.
Center probe in graphic window
check box
The Center probe in graphic window check box
shifts the display in the Graphic Display window so that the animated
probe always appears centered in the window whenever PC-DMIS executes
motion commands or takes hits on the part. This is useful when you want
to keep your view zoomed in close to your part model during execution
yet visually follow the probe's progress. This functions only if PC-DMIS
is not in Program mode.
