Check the lights of the probe module and probe head when attaching and triggering touching the touchprobe probe carefully with a finger.
For TP-20:
The PH6 LED should be off when the TP-20 module is not attached
The PH6 LED should be on when the TP-20 module is attached
Triggering Touching 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.
TP-200:
The PH6 LED should be on when the TP-200 module is not attached
The PH6 LED should be on when the TP-200 module is attached
Triggering Touching the TP-200 module when InSpec is not set to touchprobe should cause:
the PH6 probe head LED should not to blink but it will remain on
the TP-200 probe module LED should remain off turn onTriggering Touching the TP-200 module when InSpec is set to touchprobe should cause:
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.
