Probing system output (RS232 and IEEE)
6.3 HCU1 operation
When the system is used in conjunction with an HCU1 hand control unit (see section 9.1), the probe
damp and probe reset buttons on the HCU1 are active.
• The probe reset button will pulse the PPOFF PICS line when pressed, but only while the system is
in manual mode.
• The probe damp button will toggle the PDAMP PICS line when pressed, but only while the system is
in manual mode.
• Both the probe reset and probe damp buttons on the HCU1 can be made inactive by use of a switch
on the rear panel of the PHC10-2 (see table 9).

6.4 Output configuration
The PHC10-2 can be connected to a probe interface via the PICS connection (9-way D-type connector) or
via the SSR connection (7 pin DIN connector).
The configuration of the probe interface connection is selected by use of switches 15 and 16 as detailed
in table 10.

6.4.1 PICS output
Renishaw’s PICS (product inter-connection system) allows a standard method of connection for real-time
signals used by current Renishaw products and gives access to probing system control features through
the DIN SSR connection.
The following descriptions (see table 11 on page 33) are specific to PHC10-2 PICS connections. Please
refer to the PICS installation guide (Renishaw part number H-1000-5000) for further information.
