Hey I am new to Pc-dmis for the Vision

Hi Curt, if you are doing your alignment using touch probe, and measuring with the video probe, you need to ensure your touch and video probe tips are cross probe calibrated to each other. To do this you will need a ring gage. From Probe Utilities, select the contact probe, and press the Measure button to calibrate the ring. Once you've calibrated the touch probe, select the video probe, and select the Calibrate Probe Offset option. Press Calibrate, and answer "no" when asked if the tool has moved. The two probes should now be aligned.
For alignment, you have a number of options. The simplest is a 3-2-1 alignment. Using your touch probe, measure three surface points on the surface (for levelling), then measure a feature (e.g. a line) for rotation, and then measure a feature for origin (or you can construct this if you wish).
You can also use the 2d option on the alignment wizard (on the wizards toolbar), but this is geared more for pure vision measurement.

For the white light sensor, you need version V4.2. On this version, you will be able to make a surface point (focus) and do a UV scan. The laser support is being extended in V4.3.

As you're comfortable with the touch probe side, I'd recommend running the "vision tutorial" that comes with the software to help get a grip on the video side.
