I have a probe changer that works perfectly, but i have a part on the table that i am programing for that is so large that it intrudes into the probe changing area. This happens frequently enough that I need a way to disable the changer. What i have been doing is going into the probe changer setup box, and selecting "none" as my changer type. This works, but the downside is, when I want to reactivate the changer, i have to go back and do the alignment and such again.
Is there a toggle that I can't seem to find? Anyone else have a better solution?
Click on "operation/calibrate and edit\probe changer\slots\" go to the slots your probe is located in and pick on the name of that probe. The list of all available probes will come up, at the top you will see " no_probe" pick that and it will eliminate the probe from the slot. When you're done measuring go back to the same menus go to the slot pick no_probe the tool list comes back up pick the name of the probe you want in the slot. With no probe listed in the slot, pcdmis will tell you to do a manual tool change.
