LOAD PROBE

What I'm attempting to do is create a program where I have an artifact mounted to the cmm table. That I can measure the artifact using one of 5 different probes via marked sets. The purpose of this is to compare the results to each other and compare to previous results.    

Are you interested in trying IF/ flow control statements instead of multiple marked sets?

Yes, I would be willing to try that. It's something I have no experience with.  

Create your own numbering sequences if you wish for this. This is just a rough example. It's a lot more complex than I anticipated due to how PC-DMIS reads tips and angles.

You'll need multiple instances of the same program doing it this way. I'll try to find a more efficient way when I get time.

C1         =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            Probe Tip Number
            IF/C1.INPUT =="1"
              LOADPROBE/3X60MM
  $$ NO,
              Code Block here
              GOTO/END
              TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=0, 0, 1, ANGLE=0
            END_IF/
END         LABEL

ArkansasBeeper has a much simpler way, and will do exactly what you need.

I am not able to test this online but try this out. Put in your correct probe names and in the order you prefer. As I could not see the images too well to put them in for you. First 3 are your names.

C1         =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            Probe Tip
            ASSIGN/TIP1="1_5MMX60"
            ASSIGN/TIP2="PT3MMX20"
            ASSIGN/TIP3="4X50MM"
            ASSIGN/TIP4="2X20MM"
            ASSIGN/TIP5="1X40MM"
            IF/C1.INPUT == "1"
              ASSIGN/TIP=TIP1
              GOTO/START
            END_IF/
            IF/C1.INPUT == "2"
              ASSIGN/TIP=TIP2
              GOTO/START
            END_IF/
            IF/C1.INPUT == "3"
              ASSIGN/TIP=TIP3
              GOTO/START
            END_IF/
            IF/C1.INPUT == "4"
              ASSIGN/TIP=TIP4
              GOTO/START
            END_IF/
            IF/C1.INPUT == "5"
              ASSIGN/TIP=TIP5
              GOTO/START
            END_IF/
START      =LABEL/
            LOADPROBE/TIP
            TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=0, 0, 1, ANGLE=0
