Q: When I cross an edge with the optical edge sensor on my comparator a point is not being entered in the system or is not being entered correctly.
A: Confirm first that you have the Auto Edge probe selected; check the probe menu for the currently selected probe. Select a feature measure button, and cross an edge again. See below if no points are entered.
Attempt to re-teach your optical edge probe. Select the teach edge button found in the probe menu and follow the edge teach on-screen instruction. Check edge detection again.
If you receive an error message when attempting to teach your probe, perform the teach again taking special care to confirm the dark and light points with the onscreen instruction, if it still fails contact your service representative.
