what probes are in the probe rack

Does anyone know if there is a way to see what probes are currently in the probe rack programmetrically?

I have a little project going and it would be nice to be able to see what probes are currently in the rack.

  • The best I can come up with is PCDLRN.PartProgram.Probes, but I think that will only give you what probes are used in a program and nothing about them being loaded in the change rack. I don't see any properties in PCDLRN.Probe relating to the changer, as well as nothing in PCDLRN.Application, PCDLRN.ApplicationSettings or any other seemingly logical places to look.

    Edit: I did find a PCDLRN.OBTYPE.GET_PROBECHANGER_DATA enumeration, maybe that in a GetValue function or something would do it, though I don't know what command you would actually need to interrogate with it.


    so i've looked into your suggestion. looks like the GET_PROBECHANGER_DATA is used when adding a command. so i tried it. all it does is throw
    LOADPROBECHANGER/NO MACHINE

    into the program... i'll have to try this command at the machine to see if it helps me any... i don't have the probechanger module on the offline seat b/c what's the point lol
