Ø.5mm x 20mm Tip

Crazy Man!
Hello, one quick question. (I'm utilizing 3.7)

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.?

  • Thanks Matt!

    I tried to save the "new" file as " userprobe", but PC-DMIS couldn't read it. I ended up doing a "copy-n-paste" (within the original .dat file) with a probe that was close & edited what I wanted.

    It seemed to have worked!



    In the future, it needs to be called USRPROBE.DAT (no 'E' in USR). What you did (Same PROBE.DAT file) is fine, until you install a new version, which will over-write the PROBE.DAT file. As a USRPROBE.DAT file it never replaces it, so you can carry it across installations without losing your custom probes.
