Using the Probe Toolbox in PC-DMIS Laser

Probe Toolbox - Position Probe tab selected

The available options on each Probe Toolbox tab are dependent on the sensor configured for your system. Because of this, the individual Probe Toolbox images and the associated descriptions in this section of the PC-DMIS Laser documentation may not match what you see in PC-DMIS.

 

Starting with PC-DMIS 2019 R2, PC-DMIS no longer supports the Perceptron laser sensor. While you may still be able to install PC-DMIS 2019 R2 and later, PC-DMIS displays an error if you attempt to run measurement routines that use the Perceptron scanner. For additional information, please contact Technical Support.

The View | Other Windows | Probe Toolbox menu option displays the Probe Toolbox. The Probe Toolbox contains various laser sensor parameters that you can use to acquire the data points that a measurement routine needs.

Your LMS license or portlock must contain the laser option, and you must be working with a supported laser sensor to access the laser-related tabs in the Probe Toolbox.

The Probe Toolbox contains the laser parameters on these tabs:

For Portable Configurations

Laser Scan Properties *^+!

Feature Extraction ^!

For CMM Configurations

Position Probe

Laser Scan Properties

Laser Filtering Properties

Laser Clipping Region Properties

Feature Extraction

Laser AF Multiple Creation

 

The list above shows all possible Probe Toolbox tabs. The tabs that are available depend on the sensor that you have on your system. If the capabilities for a tab do not apply to your specific sensor, then that tab is unavailable.

* For Perceptron probes, these tabs are visible when you close the Auto Feature dialog box.

^ For Perceptron probes, these tabs are visible when you open the Auto Feature dialog box.

+ For HP-L probes, these tabs are visible when you close the Auto Feature dialog box.
