  1. Open an existing measurement routine, or create a new one.

  2. Select the Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe menu option to open the Probe Utilities dialog box (this dialog box automatically appears when you create a new measurement routine).

  1. Define a probe configuration that uses the CONTOUR probe and the appropriate Romer arm inside the Probe Utilities dialog box. The type of Perceptron Contour probe is specified in the Setup Options dialog box.

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.
