Step 9 - Take the Second Manual Probe Hit
For the ACR3 Probe Changer, this is the second of two hits that you need to take to locate the probe changer. You will take the second hit in the XY plane inside the back of port 4 (just above the metal key). The prompt for the second manual probe hit is:
Please take a hit in the back of the circle for port 4.
The hit should be taken in the middle just above the metal key.
After completing this hit DCC calibration will begin.

This set of two manual probe hits establishes the location and orientation for the ACR3 Probe Changer.
WARNING: When you do this, the machine moves. To avoid injury, stay clear of the machine. To avoid hardware damage, run the machine at a slower speed.
At this point, the system goes into DCC mode and measures a series of hits that are required to accurately locate and orient the probe changer.
In the next step, you slide the ACR3 probe rack to the right side of its travel range.
