It is important to note that some third party software applications use custom probes defined in MUS. Check your software manual to verify this feature.

Although Revware encourages you to customize your MicroScribe to be the most productive for your specific workflow, please take precautions when using probes other than those outlined in this section. Prior to fabricating your own probe please contact Revware Technical Support (contactus@revware.net ) to get additional specifications, including the thread size required for probes.
