same Sensor.

Monitor Operation is possible with only one of the Touch Finders.
Operation will be possible from the Touch Finder where [Model region] was
pressed first.

longer be possible from the other Touch Finder.
When that occurs, a message will be displayed on the other Touch Finder saying
that another Touch Finder is currently setting up the Sensor.
A (Switch sensor) icon will be displayed on the lower right of the display.
When Run Mode operations are possible again, Run Mode will be displayed in
the initial status.
Logging Monitoring or setup Logging (including file logging and recent results logging) can be performed by
only one of the Touch Finders.
• If logging is enabled on both of the Touch Finders, logging will be performed
only on the Touch Finder that was connected to the Sensor first.
An error will be displayed on the other Touch Finder when it connects to the
Sensor and logging will automatically be disabled.
• If logging is disabled on both of the Touch Finders when they are connected,
logging will be performed only on the Touch Finder for which logging is
enabled first.
You can use the following parameter to enable and disable logging.
(Setup Mode) − [TF settings] − [Logging setting]

Therefore, they can be displayed only on the Touch Finder for which logging is
enabled as described above.
