Script for probe rack ports?

LaserJay
Does anyone have a script to change the probes that are loaded in each port in the probe rack?
Or perhaps one that can clear the probes loaded in the probe rack?

I have a part that maxes out my CMM capacity and we have to remove the probe rack for machine clearance.
If the operator doesn't remove the probes from the probe rack ports in the settings then the machine will go through the motions of loading the second probe (which is shorter then the first probe) and then go slam in to the part.

Obviously I have a comment in the program to prevent this but I don't want the operator to have to stop the execution to go clear the port settings then have to go re-execute.

    It might actually be pretty simple. Make a script that alters the name of your probechanger.dat file so PC-DMIS won't recognize it and make you manually change the probes. Later, when you are ready to use it again, change the name back to normal. Just make sure to restart PC-DMIS after the name change. It only reads the .dat file on software startup.

    Another option would be to move the .dat file to a different folder and move it back when you need it.
