How to Use the MSE

(This topic applies to the Measurement Strategy Editor also known as the MSE for short.)

  1. Select Edit | Preferences | Measurement Strategy Editor to access the Measurement Strategy Editor application. You can position the application and resize the window height as needed.

  2. Choose the desired Probe Mode and the Sensor Type.

  3. From the Unit option, decide the units that you want to see in the application (mm or in).

  4. From the toolbar on the left, you can scroll up and down and then select an Auto feature to modify its settings.

  5. Modify a feature's default settings for that group. (You can also define strategies. For information, see "Creating or Modifying Strategies" below.) By default, PC-DMIS decides what features to send to the Measurement Strategy Widget but you can override that with the switches to the right of each setting (Switch).

  6. Once you're done modifying one feature, if you like, click to another feature. The application temporarily stores your modifications as you click between the different features.

  7. Continue to modify the settings as needed.

  8. Save your changes. This also inserts your settings as defaults into PC-DMIS.

  1. Save as many groups of settings as you want.

  2. From the Group list, choose the group of settings you intend to use most frequently, and click Set Group as Default. This tells PC-DMIS to use those settings as the new default settings.

  3. Click Close to close the MSE.

  4. Create your Auto features.
