Add a tip-anlge in code

You can define multiple parameter sets for a probe. Why not define a parameter set for your common angles that is called in your overnight calibration program and then define a parameter set for each program specific combination and insert an autocalibration command referencing that set at the start of each program. You could also have another parameter set that has a sampling of both common and specific angles that runs in calibration verification mode so you can verify that everything is properly related. If the deviations from the verification exceed a certain value then use flow control to display an error message and instruct the operator to run the full calibration.

It starts to get a bit complicated but between parameter sets, subroutines, marked sets, and maybe a bit of scripting you should be able to accomplish everything you are looking for while controlling your risk of loosing the realtionship between angles.
