Probe trigger options allow you to trigger a hit when the manual CMM meets the conditions described in the topics under Probe Trigger Options below.

The interfaces that support probe trigger options include Romer, Leica, Faro, Garda, and SMX laser.

You can insert POINT AUTOTRIGGER, PLANE AUTOTRIGGER, and POINT MANUAL TRIGGER commands into your measurement routine from the Probe Trigger Options tab in the Parameters dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Parameters or F10) or from the Probe Mode toolbar.
