Is there a way to incorporate into a part program to ask the operator what tool changer slot is currently loaded? PC-DMIS would then accept the slot the operator has specified. My goal is to create a part program in the event that a part program is aborted. I want the operator to be able to move the probe to a safe area for rotation to A0B0 before it approaches the tool changer. Thanks.
Matthew D. Hoedeman I don't know romer moduls. What I want is that every stylus module has a chip. The probehead has a chip reader/writer.
So instead of asking the user what is the loaded probe (or if the question is turned off, guessing what probe is loaded). It knows is with certainty.

that's what Romer's do, each "puck" is 'read' by the mount, Pcdmis inserts that probe file into the program. swap 'pucks', new loadprobe command, automatic.
