Dwell before each hit taken?

BlueRay
I noticed that sometimes when taking points along the contour of a part, I can see the readout showing good vector numbers while I scan, but after I make a point group and then try to make a profile dimension for the report, shows the numbers all over the place.

I pondered this a bit and tryed a few things before noticing that if I come to a complete stop, and dwelled for just a second before each hit, everything reads fine. When I take points while the ball probe is still moving, the points are thrown out seemingly at random.

Now I know that if the probe is gliding along the surface too fast, the romer will make an unpleasant sound letting you know to slow down, but I'm refferring to times that it's not making that sound, but still throwing the points out

Is there a dwell setting of some sort that can adjust how long you must sit before each hit?
Our old romer, (that still uses Supra Stuff,) can take acurate points while the probe is moving with no issue, so I got a bit spoiled using that old dinosaur

    haha my issue is that I seem to be ready before the CMM is... Whats happening is I'm being forced to stop and pause at each location before taking the hit, or else the reported info shows wrong numbers.
    What I'd like to be able to do is slide my probe along the surface of a part taking random hits either without stopping my probe, or at least a very minimal stop. Right now I'm being slowed down by having to wait for a sec before each hit I take

    I'm looking to do something similar to "plane auto trigger," except I'd like to click the points manually, instead of holding the button down taking a ridiculous amount of points

    What's happening when you "hear a weird noise"? You are inadvertently creating Pulled Hits. check the Help Menu for "Pulled Hits Method" for the full explanation. Cliff's Notes: The IJK of your hits is being replaced with the direction of your dragging.

    Possible solutions:

    1) slow down, so the Pulled Hits are not being activated
    2) create Vector Points at the location you want them, and then Auto Trigger them. Group and Profile as needed.
    3) create a Manual Scan by holding down button 2 and dragging. Profile as needed
    4) create a Body Axis Scan. Profile as needed.

    All of these methods will work if you're trying to find the profile of a contoured surface. Scans sound the easiest to me, but your application might be wildly different than what I'm thinking.
