Probe Partnering Function - Renishaw RMP60 Installation Manual

Probe partnering function

The probe partnering function enables the RMP60 to be partnered with the RMI-Q or RMI-QE interface
independently of the configuration process for other probe settings. To partner RMP60 with RMI-Q or
RMI-QE, insert the batteries or, if they have already been installed, remove them for 5 seconds and
then refit them.
Following the LED check, the RMP60 will proceed to show the probe settings. This will end with
"Battery status" being displayed. If the battery power is good, battery status will be eight green
flashes. If battery power is low, each green flash will be followed by a blue flash.
Whilst the "Battery status" is being displayed, deflect and immediately release the stylus to enter
"Partnering mode".
"Partnering mode off" will be displayed as a sequence of cyan flashes. At this point the RMI-Q or
RMI-QE must be turned on.
If an RMI-Q is turned on, the RMP60 will continue to display the sequence of cyan flashes. If an
RMI-QE is turned on, the RMP60 display sequence will now incorporate a long yellow flash.
On the RMP60 select "Partnering mode on" by deflecting the stylus for less than 4 seconds. After
successful partnering indicated by a cyan, cyan, green flash, the RMP60 will timeout after 20 seconds
and then go into standby. If "Partnering mode on" is not selected, the RMP60 will timeout after 120
seconds and then go into standby (see page 4.7, "RMP60 – RMI-Q partnership", or page 4.8,
"RMP60 – RMI-QE partnership", for further information).
