TP20 6-port probe changer issues

Running 2023 R2.
I'm trying to put a new probe into our TP20 6-port probe rack, but for some reason it's the only one that won't load automatically. Ports 1-5 work normally, but when loading or unloading the new probe positioned in port 6, it asks me to manually remove the new probe before loading another probe or when trying to load the new probe. I checked port assignments, and the correct probe is specified for the port.

  • Ok two things:
    1: I am pretty sure this isn't your problem, but make 100% certain you have a probe build that doesn't contain a SPACE at the end of the probe name.

    2: PDCMIS thinks it's smarter than you are. I had this happen with trying to use TP200 modules on a MCR20 (not possible).
    --Hexagon has some backend validation that makes certain that you can't use a TP200 on a TP20 rack, even though it's physically possible.
    --I noticed your probe #6 in the picture is the only probe using a TESASTAR branded module.
    --Try rebuilding that probe, reference a TP20 module in the build instead of the TESASTAR.

    It will likely work then.

    PCDMIS is probably programmed to prohibit any probe BUT TP20's from being mounted on a MCR20 rack.


    Will try rebuilding probe later this morning - lots of projects going. Thanks for everyone's input!
