Reload Probe DAT File

Adam Ellis

We are running PC-DMIS CAD++ Version 2016.0 (Release) x64 Build# 1179 (Service Pack 10)

 The computer where our CMM software was corrupted and we lost everything on it. Reloaded everything, including PC-DMIS.

 When we start PC-DMIS it does not have any probe information, no probe changer, nothing in any drop down menus, nothing.

 The search path for the probe directory is “C:\Program Files\Hexagon\PC-DMIS 2016.0 64-bit\” and the actual  probe.dat path is "C:\Program Files\Hexagon\PC-DMIS 2016.0 64-bit\PROBE.DAT", which is correct. We don’t have a usrprobe.dat file.

 The probe.dat file is 518 KB and appears to have all the standard probe build information required.

 How do we correct this?

 

Thank You

    As  said, make sure you select 'no probe defined' then all the elements will be available for selection to build your probe(s).

    Note: the probe.dat file contains all the definitions of the individual components needed to build a probe.

    The Set Search Path setting is where the probe files you create will be stored (and where PC-Dmis will look for them). 

    You really shouldn't have this in the Program Files directory.  Unless you run as Admin you may well not actually be able to create .prb file in this location.

    The default location would be the User / Public Documents folder such as:

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2023.2

    Although I'd always have a separate Probe folder :

    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2023.2\Probes
