Creating Probe Sets

 

Probe Sets are groups of frequently used probes. By creating Probe Sets, you can conveniently group Probes into a set that is specific for a recurring task. When you first start Probe Manager, Probe Manager creates a Probe Set for you that includes one or more default Probe, specific to your chosen digitizer. Probe Manager must always have at least one Probe Set containing at least one Probe in the Probe selection tree.

To Create a Probe Set

  1. Access Probe Manager

  2. From the Probe Document tree, select the Probe Document or an existing Probe Set .

Information for the Probe Document or Probe Set appears on the right side of the display panel.

  1. Right click the selected item.

The Probe item options pop-up menu appears.

  1. Select New.

The item type pop-up menu appears.

  1. Select Probe Set.

Probe Manager creates a new Probe Set populated with one or more default Probes appropriate for your chosen device.

  1. On the right side of the display panel, view the definition for the Probe Set and edit the information fields as necessary.
