If I calibrate a tip to a secured standard (.75 sphere 0 0 1) shouldnt the values under the tip x,y be set to zero? I haven't inputed data into these fields before probing, this looks to be populated by dmis.
Build a probe. Look at the values, they will be mathmatically perfect UNTIL YOU CALIBRATE. Once you calibrate, they will be REAL numbers, not some mythical, theoretical values. Nothing is perfect in the real world, that is why you calibrate. After you calibrate, NONE of the numbers for anything will be perfect, they will be real.
The one and ONLY time that you will see "X0 Y0" values for an A0B0 tip is IF you build a new probe and IF you tell it the cal-tool has moved, then and ONLY then will the A0B0 result be zero.
Never EVER edit any value for any probe AFTER you have calibrated it, if you do, all your reported numbers are meaningless.
Mine read X=0 and Y=0 since I always tell it the tool has been moved. I work on a small table and am constanly having to move it. Now it's habit.
