AutomationSettings Object
Description
The AutomationSettings object controls how to handle PC-DMIS automated behaviors. This includes, but is not limited to, automatic-generated messages in PC-DMIS.
Remarks
The object currently has properties that handle generated messages about probe tip errors.
Example
This example connects to PC-DMIS, loads a part program, and then allows you to control what messages appear through the available check boxes.
