About the Default Ball Probe Setup

The default ball probe setup is always controlled by the FARO dialogs. These are windows that can be loaded from VTube-LASER while it is connected to the arm. To change the default ball probe, you will need to access the FARO dialog and choose the correct probe.

STEP 1 (You must be connected to a FARO arm to perform these steps.) In VTube-LASER click on the Arm Utilities button in the Arm tab inside the Measure Setup menu.
STEP 2 Change the values in VTube to whatever you want them be when you perform a clear. Be sure that no tube data exits in this state, or VTube will clear the data to preset values with a tube. (Of course, you can do this, if you really meant to.)
STEP 3 Press the System Options button.
STEP 4 Press the Project Setup tab, and then press the Set Project Default State button.
STEP 5 Exit the System Options menu. VTube will now clear to the new settings.
