SortPenalties Property
Description

The penatly value, in seconds, is an approximation of the time taken by a CMM to change tips this category of probes. The default pentalty mean that all features measured with a given tip are grouped together and sorted within that tip group. For example, if you set the penalty to zero, this allows the Optimize Path process to sort features based solely on the distance traveled between features while completely ignoring tip changes.

The Sort penalty has three values, one for each of these three components:

  • MIP/MIH
  • Wrist
  • PHS Wrist

The values are stored in the X, Y, Z position of a pointdata object.
