When building probe tips, I've always used what was available in the Probe Utilities Box pull-downs. Now I've come acrossed a Ø.5mm x 20mm tip(#A-5003-1345) that I need to use and the only tips available in the Probe Utilities Box pull-downs are a "TIP0.5BY15.25MMSHK" & a "TIP0.5BY15.3MMtcSHANK".
Is there a way to "add" tips to the list, or am I just S.O.L.?
Your build-up really only needs to match the probe file in ONE particular, and that is total length (within a couple mm). While this is not a good habit to get into, when you are in a major freaking hurry, you can stick any probe that is 20mm long on there and then calibrate it. Yes, you will get a warning that the size isn't right when calibrating, but it will get you going and checking (and STILL getting correct data!) in a hurry.
