Still a newbie to all this but I was proficient with our old 1808 without servos. I still use an old Bendix 1000 with ridged probes for reference (you all can chuckle now). Issue I'm having is that when I try to build a new probe, there's nothing in the drop down box. When I delete the probe file and try to type in a new probe, everything in the probe description becomes blank. I actually had to take a picture with my phone as it wouldn't let me take a screen shot. Below that, the options that are given are not what I need and I cannot override/enter what I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi-Tech Redneck....yes. If you have a moment, open the second picture on my first post and that is what I get. Wouldn't let me do a screen shot so I had to take a pic with my phone.

I'm not familiar with the choices you have in the second picture. I assume you're saying the choices you have to do not match the hardware you have on your machine...
what Machine/Wrist/probe do you have?
So, if I understand correctly, the options you have in the pulldown menu are of no use to you. And if I'm not mistaken those options come from the PROBE.DAT file. Maybe the directory where PCDMIS is looking contains an old DAT file???
Not really sure... maybe someone else can help...Sorry
There shouldn't be any old files as this machine is only 6 months old. I have two probes already in use but I'm trying to build another probe with and extension to inspect a separate part. This is where nothing is there for me to start building a probe. It has me discombobulated/dumbfounded
It's my understanding when building probes, the available selections are based on connection type and the options will only be components compatible with that connection. For example, my first connection is the Tesastar-sm motorized head. Once I select that, then I see probe modules compatible with that motorized head. And once the probe is selected, I see probe holders, etc, etc.
None of your options look like a head to me, but I don't know all there is to know about CMM head options.
What does your other probe builds look like?
