Why Are Focus Positions Not Stored When Creating XY Points?

If the focus position is not being stored when creating or reviewing XY points, it is likely because a Focus Device has not been set in the X-Y Stage preferences. Without a Focus Device configured, Volocity cannot store the Z position for each point.

How to Set the Focus Device:

On macOS:

  1. Go to the Volocity menu and select Preferences.
  2. Select X-Y Stage.
  3. Choose the Focus Device from the pop-up menu.

On Windows:

  1. Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences.
  2. Select X-Y Stage.
  3. Choose the Focus Device from the pop-up menu.

Once the Focus Device is set, the Z positions will be stored correctly when creating or reviewing points.
