(This item pertains to the Edit Probe Data dialog box. You can open this dialog box with the Edit button on the Probe Utilities dialog box, accessible through Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe.)
The Nickname box on the Edit Probe Data dialog box is used to provide a more descriptive name to the selected probe Tip ID.
For example, if you named your probe tip, "MyTip" in the Nickname box, PC-DMIS uses "MyTip" in the user interface for that probe tip in dialog boxes, messages, on reports, etc. If you don't define an ID, PC-DMIS uses the default generated Tip ID instead.
