  Definition
  Geomet's Stylus Manager can be configured to show additional information in column format to assist in identifying the current styli in the database. By default, the columns display are:
 
  1. Label
  2. Dia.
  3. Tip No.
  Customizing the columns is especially useful when your probe system configuration include motorized probe heads or stylus racks. By adding the probe head angle values and stylus rack bay assignments, quick identification can be easily done when visiting the Stylus Manager
  Procedure
 
To activate the column selection tool, left-click directly on a existing column label. For example, the column labeled "Dia." acts as a button when you click directly on it.

A column chooser tool appears displaying the current available columns. Any columns that are already active will show a checkmark next to the name.

When the columns have been assigned, activate the changes by pressing the <OK> button.
