Probes and Tips

AllowTipErrorMessages = 0 - Integer. The default is 0 (zero). If the value is 1, this value allows error messages (for auxiliary tips that don’t exist) to stop the measurement routine when an indexable head or wrist head is not present.

CmmOsNoToolName = "not defined" - If TCAllowUnload is True, PC-DMIS converts the name that it receives from the CMM-OS to "no tool".

ConfigSelectionStrategy = 0 - Integer. The default is 0 (zero). The bitmapped values are:

Bit 0 (value = 1) - Prevents the tip from being changed when the cursor moves in the Edit window.

Bit 1 (value = 2) - Allows the selection of indexable head or wrist head angles by tip number instead of using angles A and B (new for v1.40).

NoErrorOnProbeNotFound = False - Boolean. The default is False. If the value is True, bad probes do not stop the measurement routine. (This setting is for development purposes only.)

RunCmmosCal = True - Boolean. The default is True. If the value is True, PC-DMIS sends the command to start the calibration of the current CMM-OS probe via the Measure button in Probe Builder dialog box.

TipNameCapRule = 1 - Integer. The default is 1. The value specifies the way a tip or probe name can be modified before PC-DMIS sends it to CMM-OS. This accommodates the variety of operating procedures and software application of other companies:

0 or >3 - Does not change the tip or probe name.

1 - Capitalizes the first letter of the tip or probe name.

2 - If the first character is a number, does not change the tip or probe name.

3 - Sets all the letters of the tip or probe name to lowercase.

In the case of 1, 2, and 3, if the probe name starts with "czr" (any combination or lowercase and uppercase) then the three letters are capitalized.

UsesTipOffsets = True - Boolean. The default is True. This entry is a legacy entry. For PC-DMIS versions earlier than version 2010, tip offsets were not added or subtracted since positions were defined at the tip's center. This entry updates the interface independently, starting with PC-DMIS version 2010.
