Probe Calibration

[Bassbuff]

I have a 4-Probe Changer, PCDMIS 3.5 v2, is there a method to Calibrate all of the Probes one-after-another in the same operation?

After you define you probe changer. You can write a program that has all 4 of your probes. Here is what mine looks like. (Sp600) changer
