Adding a new probe to your library

There are three ways to create a new probe:

1. Use the Duplicate button as described above.

2. Click New Probe... to define a new probe.

3. Click Import to load a probe definition from a *.psprobe file and add it to your

library. These files are normally supplied by Pico, but you can also create your own

by defining a new probe and then clicking Export.

Methods 2 and 3 open the Custom Probe Wizard to guide you through the probe

definition process.
