Can I create a custom probe?

Yes, the Custom Probe feature can be found by clicking on the Probe Options icon.

1. Select the Use Custom Probe option.
2. Select a probe profile to overwrite or redefine. 
3. Follow the steps provided in MUS to calibrate your custom probe with the calibration fixture. 
4. Save the custom probe.

Note: Revware cannot guarantee device accuracy for all custom probes that can be used with MicroScribe. While the accuracy with a custom probe will likely be close, it may not be the same as the accuracy attained when using the Default Probe.
