Probe Calibration Automation

I'm trying to automate a probe calibration using the Qualify2(QualificationSettings settings) method.

I'm able to set all of my qualification settings except for a few things.

1. QualificationSettings.Mode - any time I attempt to change it, QualificationSettings.Mode becomes 100...

2. Selected probe tips - Per the help doc, you should use Probe.ClearAllProbes() to Clear the list of probes to be calibrated and Tip.Selected to select/deselect the probes to be qualified. this doesn't work. I can see that the tip angle that i want calibrated is selected, and nothing else, but PC-DMIS still attempts to calibrate all of the probe angles.

Before you mention Parameter Sets, we would like to get away from them, we have multiple machines that have different probe heads so just copying the probe file with the parameter set is not a valid option as the parameter set gets cleared when you change a component.

Also, we often have to use different calibration spheres when one goes out for calibration. Parameter sets, and autoqualify do not allow you to select which tool you would like to use. QualificationSettings does.


Has anyone else tried this?

Maybe i should report it as a bug? Anyone know how to go about doing that?

  • Thanks for the info, that post has given me some ideas. As far as the CalibrateSingleTip command, i can't seem to find that...


    Hmmm, I wonder....


    The company I tried develop a solution for were based in Scotland (Ecosse) - I did hear their IT guys got a solution which worked, the date is around the right time....
