What's your specific question about how?

Yes, I would like to know how to define the holder location of a single XXT probe holder.

Also curious....

Is this a different option you get when you set your machine tab up as an O-Inspect or something? Since Defining the XXT rack automatically has 3, so there has to be something different for the singles.... if that's the case, come on Zeiss really? Why can't any XXT machine have a single?

I supposed that could be fairly quickly tested via an offline seat....

I've been shown how to use a standard 3 position rack, create an assignment and hide 2 positions on the right end not being used.

Maybe something for the knowledge base?

Create a new 3 position rack.  Select any of the 3 new positions and click Administration at lower left corner.  Select "Create New Assignment.  Click Administration button again.  Select "Hide Holder Position in Assignment", select position 2.  Repeat for position 3.  Do not click Close Assignment or positions will re-appear.

You can save the assignment, just in case someone closes the assignment, you can quickly re-load it.

That sounds awful and asking for errors....

It's too bad the software doesn't have a mode, say for other probe systems, that was already setup for individual racks that just worked and displayed intuitively.

Especially when your standard workflow includes using seperate assignments for each part (like mine does). 

There are already enough strange problems when having many assignments, like holders getting hidden or emptied for no apparent reason. Please Zeiss, don't tell us this is the intended way of doing this. 😒
