The configure instrument controls offer a means to edit the settings within the selected instrument interface. You can used the ellipsis button to select the instrument as need within the Trapping Controls:
This control operates much like an MP scripted command to set the desired instrument settings when trapping begins. This can include both Probing and Targeting settings. The settings available will depend on the instrument type selected. For example, a laser tracker can have both its measurement profile and measurement target set, and a even the increment of a spatial scan can be set. An arm or laser radar on the other hand only offer configuration of the measurement profile or target definition.
The Configure Instrument control is also directly tied to the Auto Measure >Batch of Features command and will be used by it to measure a batch of features.
