Probe naming rules

Question

Are there any rules that ideally should be followed when naming probes? Like the rules for naming features and dimensions to avoid unpredictable behavior? Is a space ok?

If you want to re-name rather than rebuild all of your probe files, you would need to close PC-DMIS, navigate to your probe folder using windows explorer and rename them there. Then launch PC-DMIS, open each of your routines and replace the old prob file name with the new one. Once you have done them all, you will need to close PC-DMIS again, go back to your probe folder and delete the old probe files. The reason for this is that when you open a routine and the probe file doesn't exist, PC-DMIS will re-create an empty probe file with that name.

The same rules apply throughout PC-DMIS. Always start with an alphabetical character, no spaces, no mathematical symbols, no special characters. Underscores are permitted.
