RMP60 basics
Trigger filter
Probes subjected to high levels of vibration or shock loads may output probe trigger signals without
having contacted any surface. RMP60 trigger filter settings improve the probe’s resistance to these
effects.
Level 1 disables the trigger filter.
Level 2 adds a nominal 10 ms delay to the probe output.
Level 3 adds a nominal 20 ms delay to the probe output.
It may be necessary to reduce the probe approach speed to allow for the increased stylus overtravel
during the extended time delay.
The trigger filter is factory set to Level 1 (OFF).
Hibernation mode
Only applicable to “radio-on mode” when RMP60 is used with a RMI-Q.
When the RMP60 is in standby and the RMI-Q is powered off or out of range, the probe enters
hibernation; a low-power mode designed to save battery life. The probe “wakes” from hibernation to
periodically check for its partnered RMI-Q.
The “wake-up” frequency can be set to 30 seconds, 5 seconds or set to off (the probe never goes into
hibernation).
The “wake-up” frequency is factory set to 30 seconds.
If its partnered RMI-Q is found, the RMP60 goes from “hibernation mode” to “standby mode” ,
ready for “radio-on” .
NOTE: “Hibernation mode”
does not exist when an RMP60 (model RMP60QE) is used with an
RMI-QE.
