-Productivity Plus is another name for Renishaw Probe (Probing). It can only be used for Mill (or Router) - not Lathe.

+Cimco Probing is a purchased add-in chook with similar capabilities and toolpaths, but made by Cimco.
-Turning on Probing should always be done if it's indicated on an invoice.  Good practice, is for the Tech AE to reach out before they go onsite to ask use for the latest post, so we can double check this is done, however, this doesn't always happen.  If a tech is onsite and finds we did not set this up correctly, they will always be under a crunch to get it fixed as quickly as possible.  Please be respectful of their situation and handle it as a top-top priority.
+== Contacts at Cimco for Probing Questions ==
+Rene Larsen <rl@cimco.com>\\
+Ryan Mermall <RM@cimco.com>\\
+Both these contacts can be included for any questions on post sections. For implementation questions please see [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DeCVAfcTT8Sg2baZ-OFnd36rmHDa8_3n/view?usp=sharing|CQP0011 - Renishaw-Cimco Probe]] or discuss with RJ.

+For CQ and PY posts, probing should be on in most new engines by default. Turning on Probing should always be done if it's indicated on an invoice.  Good practice, is for the Tech AE to reach out before they go onsite to ask use for the latest post, so we can double check this is done, however, this doesn't always happen.  If a tech is onsite and finds we did not set this up correctly, they will always be under a crunch to get it fixed as quickly as possible.  Please be respectful of their situation and handle it as a top-top priority.
 If you see this anywhere on an invoice, make sure you turn on probing in the post:

+First set the first line "O" number.  O can be set to the following values:
+O0 - no probing or poco\\
+O1 - probing no poco\\
+O10 - poco no probing\\
+O11 - poco and probing
+Then switch on the appropriate value.  Here's a full description for each post:

-For PY, this is most likely already on.  If CNC, this should be there in their newer posts.  If you can't find this variable, its from an old post and we need to charge to add the Probing logic.

 Note that the tech team has access to this section in non Cimquest posts.  However, they will not be familiar with this and its still our responsibility to turn it on.  In a pinch, you can instruct a tech AE how to do this himself if they are onsite and can't accept files for some reason.  NOT true for CQ posts!
