Setting up programming parameters
Many facets of program recording and execution
can be configured using tools provided in the Pro-
gramming screen.
Click the Tools/Options/Programming menu item
to display the Programming screen.
Starting program recording automatically
Programming recording can be started automatically when the first part measurement is made. This can
make programming more efficient by eliminating the wasted time when starting programming on a new
part is overlooked.
Check the Turn on recording... box to enable
automatic programming on each new part.
Specifying permanent fixturing as the system default
The properties of each program include one of three possible fixturing modes:
None, Temporary and Permanent. Each fixturing mode requires different datum activities when the pro-
gram is executed:
• None: No fixture is used, a part datum must
be created each time the program is executed.
• Temporary: A temporary fixture is used,
a part datum must be created the first time a
series of executions is run.
• Permanent: A permanent fixture is used,
the part datum is assumed to be constant.
It is not necessary to create a part datum.
