Probe Qualification
Probably the most important aspect of measuring parts on a CMM is getting the probe, or probes, to be in relationship to one another.

Qualification, as this process of relating a probe setup to the CMM is called, is the topic of discussion today. We will start by qualifying a single probe setup. To begin, the PROBE UTILITIES window must be accessed. To do this, go to INSERTHARDWARE DEFINITIONPROBE. Once the PROBE UTILITIES window has been accessed, a name has to be given to the probe that is going to be created.
