Adding a probe to your arm?

Chris Murphy
We got a new 3mm probe for our Romer arm. Someone else here says that they calibrated the probe and that it was ready for use. I keep getting an error saying "Unknown probe file: Romer_Probe4. Check usrprobedat." This error occurs in PCDMIS. I've gone back thru the directions to install the probe as if it hasn't been done yet but I still have the error. Does anyone know what is going wrong? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Hi Chirs,

    Probe handling on the Romer Arms in PC-DMIS is a fairly convoluted subject...Rolling eyes

    The problem is either that you don't have a UserProbe.dat file with a ROMER_PROBE4 QC entry in it.

    Make a new text file, and save it as USRProbe.dat in your PD-DMIS directory.

    Open the your new USRProbe.dat file up and past the following lines into it.

    ITEM:ROMER_PROBE4 QC
    begintip
    ribcount 10
    color 117 117 117
    cylinder 0 0 0 0 0 -19 11
    color 228 228 228
    cylinder 0 0 -19 0 0 -20 11
    cone 0 0 -20 11 0 0 -23 5
    cylinder 0 0 -23 0 0 -23 5
    color 242 242 242
    cylinder 0 0 -23 0 0 -26 3
    cone 0 0 -26 3 0 0 -30 2
    cylinder 0 0 -30 0 0 -44 2
    sphere 0 0 -45 3
    hotspot 0 0 -45 0 0 1 3 3 fixedball
    endtip

    Restart PC-DMIS with your new probe on and it should be fine.

    Hope this helps.
