The following entries are not used: MasterPlateBoundsYMax, MasterPlateBoundsYMin, MasterSlavePlateBoundsXMax, MasterSlavePlateBoundsXMin, MasterSlavePlateBoundsZMax, and MasterSlavePlateBoundsZMin.
These entries defines the minimum and maximum X, Y, and Z limits for the master side of the fixture volume.
For example, to determine the maximum limit for the Y 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 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, MasterPlateBoundsYMin, MasterSlavePlateBoundsXMax, MasterSlavePlateBoundsXMin, MasterSlavePlateBoundsZMax, and MasterSlavePlateBoundsZMin
Entry Type: Real Number to specify the minimum or maximum X, Y, or Z locations. 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.
