"please Remove Probe"

[Underspec]

I'm starting to get the message on programs telling me to remove the current probe. Funny that it should ask that when the program calls for that probe. Click "OK" and it moves to change out the probe. "Cancel" and "Execute" again, it no longer asks. Anyone else getting this recently? I need to prove out my SMA conspiracy theory

Think the only time Ive ever seen this happen is when I was loading a program which didnt have all of the probe files in the current directory for that program. The root cause was I forgot to copy them into that directory after I did some hard drive cleaning. Im my case however PCDMIS told me the program was using a probe that was not definied..

Havent you installed the SMA anti-virus yet? It came with my Staples Easy button.

This is tytpical of a toolchanger in the configuration, and it does not see the probe in the list as being on a toolchanger. It prompts you to change it manually. Do you have a toolchanger enabled?

Go to Edit - Preferences - ToolChanger Setup to see. . .

I had that same issue a month ago.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Probe Changer > Slots > Select the changer slot and assign the probe to it.

Matt helped me through this when it was changed one night by a monkey that didn't know what he was doing....

Dang, I don't rememeber that, but I did want to post here about 'please remove probe'. Hmmm, WHAT probe and where is it that it needs to be removed?

I was avoiding that one. Way to easy.

Thought about asking Underspec if they asked the Dr. if probing was accaeptable this soon after having a baby....

Yes the toolchanger is enabled and the probe has been assigned to the slot. I have a probe directory for all the probes which I set as the probe path. Maybe there are multiple probe files around that's causing this issue?

[Matthew D. Hoedeman]

There is a warning setting or one of the list in the F5 setup (same tab as the warning button) about prompting for tip if the correct one is in, or something like that. My machine is running, I don't want to screw it all up by digging into probe stuff while it is working.

[Wes Cisco]

You might have a couple of probe files with nearly identical names. Make sure the name listed in the slot is exactly the name called for the in the program.

[Matthew D. Hoedeman]

DON'T USE MATH-CODES in the names (+/-* etc.)

[Lee Johnson]

Matt that is a good suggestion in the earlier versions you can put a math code in the file name of a probe. It might be turning to junk when you try to open it up in a later version or doing the math and matching it to some other tip program

No math symbols on the probe names, just numbers and letters. Just happened to me again, but no it's working fine. I think the probe changing code in PCDMIS is bugged. Sometimes I've had to go into the probe setup and change the "Currently loaded Probe" drop down menu.
