4.1.1.1 Teaching Tip to Probe Offset
This is an optional function. You will need to teach the dispense tip to probe offset only if you intend to use height sensor
commands within the program. It is recommended you use the height sensor if your application requires very small dots or
fine lines. The tip to probe offset allows you to teach the height difference between the tip and the height sense probe (which
is essentially also the surface of your part).
To teach the offset:
(1) Tap "Offset" under Valve #1 label in the Valve screen.
(2) To jog the dispense tip to the surface of the part, tap "Jog" located at the
top right of the screen. The Jog window appears. Now, jog the dispense tip
to a point on the surface of your part.
Refer to Appendix A on detailed jogging instructions.
(3) When the desired location is reached, tap "OK".
(4) Tap "Teach" corresponding to instruction 2. The machine will raise the Z-axis
and advance the probe.
(5) Tap "Jog" again and jog the height sensor probe to the same surface point.
Tap "OK".
(6) Tap "Teach" corresponding to instruction 4. Your machine now knows the
XYZ offset for the current tip location.

WARNING! Do not toggle the height sensor probe when the Z-axis is lowered;
this could cause damage to the machine and/or the part.
Tip: The minimum tip-to-probe offset is 6mm. This is an approximation of the distance the
probe must move from surface contact to tripping the sensor (i.e. surface detection)
without crashing the tip.
