Master(Option)

The following entries are not used: MasterPlateBoundsYMax, MasterPlateBoundsYMin, MasterSlavePlateBoundsXMax, MasterSlavePlateBoundsXMin, MasterSlavePlateBoundsZMax, and MasterSlavePlateBoundsZMin

This registry entry defines the maximum Y limit for the master side of the fixture volume. To determine this location, move the ram out to the center of the volume to the end of travel of the arm. Then retract the arm a few millimeters to protect against possible overtravel. The "Y" coordinate is the value you should use for the MasterPlateBoundsYMax setting.

If the registry entries that have a default of –999999.0 remain at that value, PC-DMIS uses the machine limits returned from the controller.

Entry Name: MasterPlateBoundsYMax

Entry Type: Real Number to specify maximum Y location. The default value is -999999.

If you place a column too close to the edge of the plate, it may not be able to measure the column sphere during placement iterations. This is because the probe's head needs to retract even further to measure the column.
