  Pre-Qualified Styli
 
Pre-Qualified stylus are inserted into the stylus database only when opening a previous part inspection file that uses stylus that are not currently part of the active stylus database. For example, if a part inspection was done that required the use of stylus numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 those references are stored in the part inspection file. Should the current stylus database be changed to have only three styli, numbers 1, 2 and 4, Geomet would insert stylus 3 and mark it as pre-qualified with a '?'. You will not be allowed to proceed with the inspection without first qualifying stylus number 3.
