MP12

The MP12 is now obsolete.

The new OMP40 supersedes the MP12 and provides a state-of-the-art probing solution for compact machines.

About MP12

The MP12 uses infra-red optical transmission. It is turned on using either an M code or the auto-start feature, and is turned off using either an M code or an internal timer.

MP12 uses the legacy optical transmission method, therefore must be paired with either the OMI or the OMM / MI 12 receiver and interface.
