(This item pertains to the Probe Utilities dialog box, accessible through Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe.)
The Probe file list displays the probe file loaded for your current measurement routine. To load a different probe file, click the drop-down arrow to display all the probe files saved. The probes are listed in alphabetic order, making it easy to locate a specific probe.
PC-DMIS stores probe files in a default directory when you install PC-DMIS. When PC-DMIS searches for a probe file to load, it searches in this directory unless you've changed the search path. For information, see "Specifying Search Paths" in the "Setting your Preferences" chapter.
PC-DMIS stores the probe files by default in the "C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2023.1" folder. This is detailed in the "Understanding File Locations" topic unless you've changed the search path.
To create a new probe file:
Highlight the current name in the Probe file drop-down list.
Type in a new name.
If a probe file has already been saved under the keyed-in name, PC-DMIS loads the previously saved file into the current measurement routine.
