This mode is available only when using analog probe heads that can do continuous contact scanning. When this option is selected, PC-DMIS allows the controller to "define" a scan. PC-DMIS gathers all hit locations from the editor and passes them onto the controller for scanning. The controller will then adjust the path allowing the probe to pass through all the points. The data is then reduced according to the increment provided and the new data will replace any old measured data. Currently, this value cannot be used through Automation since there is no method provided to define a path.
BSCANOPMODE_HIGHSPEEDFEATUREBASED
500022
This execute mode is available only for Analog Probe Heads. When this is selected, PC-DMIS uses the built-in High Speed scanning capability of the controller to execute a scan.
Example: If you selected a Circle scan, PC-DMIS would use a corresponding Circle scanning command in the controller and pass on the parameters to the controller to execute. In this case, PC-DMIS does not control execution of the scans.
BSCANOPMODE_NORMALEXECUTION
500201
If a DCC scan is executed, PC-DMIS will take hits at each of the learned locations in Stitch scanning mode, storing the newly measured data.
BSCANOPMODE_REGULARLEARN
500011
When this mode is used, PC-DMIS will execute the scan as though it is learning it. All learned measured data will replace the new measured data. The nominal will be re-calculated depending on the Nominals mode.
