    • Select to confirm your rake and exit the tool.
  2. Optional: Define rake settings in the microdialog.
    1. Define the start iteration or start time.
      To define the start time, see step 3 of Define Surface Probes.
    2. Define the output interval, refinement level, or target frequency.
      To define the refinement level, see step 5 of Define Surface Probes. To define the target frequency, see step 6 of Define Surface Probes.
