1. Check the lights of the probe module and probe head when attaching and triggering the touchprobe carefully with a finger.

   1. For TP-20:

      1. The PH6 LED should be off when the TP-20 module is not attached

      2. The PH6 LED should be on when the TP-20 module is attached

      3. Triggering the TP-20 module should blink the PH6 probe head LED off, regardless of whether the touchprobe is the active sensor in InSpec or not.

   2. TP-200:

      1. The PH6 LED should be on when the TP-200 module is not attached

      2. The PH6 LED should be on when the TP-200 module is attached

      3. Triggering the TP-200 module when InSpec is not set to touchprobe should:
         the PH6 probe head LED should not blink but it will remain on
         the TP-200 probe module LED should remain off

      4. Triggering the TP-200 module when InSpec is set to touchprobe:
         the PH6 probe head LED should blink off
         the TP-200 probe module LED should light up with a brighten by an amount commensurate with the probe force as it is deflected.
         

2. Check the DIP switches of the PI-200 probe interface. Accessing this box might require to disassemble parts of the machine and should only be executed by Micro-Vu dealers.
