NX Adding Probe On and Off Commands in NX to On-Machine Probing Operations

---------------
How are Probe On and Off commands added in NX to On-Machine Probing operations?

Solution

 To include output to turn on or off the probe add the code below to the ude.cdl. 


#-----------------------------------------------------------------


EVENT probe_off
{
   POST_EVENT "probe_off"
   UI_LABEL "probe_off"
   CATEGORY MILL
   PARAM command_status
   {
      TYPE o
      DEFVAL "Active"
      OPTIONS "Active","Inactive","User Defined"
      UI_LABEL "Status"
   }
}


#-----------------------------------------------------------------


EVENT probe_on
{
   POST_EVENT "probe_on"
   UI_LABEL "probe_on"
   CATEGORY MILL
   PARAM command_status
   {
      TYPE o
      DEFVAL "Active"
      OPTIONS "Active","Inactive","User Defined"
      UI_LABEL "Status"
   }
}


#-----------------------------------------------------------------

These UDEs are then added to the probing operation from a Machine Control Sub-operation.
