Productivity Plus is another name for Renishaw Probe (Probing). It can only be used for Mill (or Router) - not Lathe.

Turning on Probing should always be done if it's indicated on an invoice. Good practice, is for the Tech AE to reach out before they go onsite to ask use for the latest post, so we can double check this is done, however, this doesn't always happen. If a tech is onsite and finds we did not set this up correctly, they will always be under a crunch to get it fixed as quickly as possible. Please be respectful of their situation and handle it as a top-top priority.

If you see this anywhere on an invoice, make sure you turn on probing in the post:

Here is how you do it. All developers have turned it on in different ways. Here is how each of us use it:

1. Set the O value for the first line to O1.¹⁾
   
2. Change the probe_out_CQP0011 to yes$
   

Note that CQ posts have the probing code in the locked section. We will need to set this properly for the tech team when they have to go onsite to setup the .Renmf. We DO NOT set up the .Renmf files!!!

1. Set the O value for the first line to O1.
   
2. Uncomment the sx_support_mc$ line to turn it on
   

For PY, this is most likely already on. If CNC, this should be there in their newer posts. If you can't find this variable, its from an old post and we need to charge to add the Probing logic.

Note that the tech team has access to this section in non Cimquest posts. However, they will not be familiar with this and its still our responsibility to turn it on. In a pinch, you can instruct a tech AE how to do this himself if they are onsite and can't accept files for some reason. NOT true for CQ posts!
