"Uknown" Probe

BCB12416
I have a customer's program in which the only change we've made, I suppose, is a "probe change." Just in that our probes we're obviously titled differently.

I made a change to an auto-feature of a cylinder (the nominal depth of our number levels), for troubleshooting with a part. When I went to change it back under the F9 edit hotkey, or manually in the program - I received error message:

"The 'Cylinder (Contact' command is not supported by the crueently 'Unknown' Probe."

Don't know a work around. Seems to be blocking me, even going back to the original saved program won't let me make an adjustment. Any experience?

  • FYI, whenever you want to open up someone else's PRG: always have them send you their PRB files along with the PRG, then you copy their probes into your probe folder and you don't get this error message and you can F9 their code.
    If you don't get their PRBs, and the issues of concern don't involve shanking or probe clearance, then you can just swap in your own. Be sure and Alt-F3 Search for every LOADPROBE command and replace it with one of yours - although if you do this be careful to swap in an analog scanning probe if they were using one or you disable their scanning features.

    My probes folders are littered with hundreds of empty probe files from me opening up customer's PRGs without getting their PRBs.
