"Failed to detect a focus position for feature <featurename>"

What can cause this?

Tried
- new probe files
- different Z-heights
- different lightning
- different backgrounds
- different surfaces

I can visually "see" that it does focus very well, during the autofocus phase - however, it does not seem to "lock" or "detect" this...
CMM-V (HP-C-VE) in 2016.0 SP1.

Ideas?

  • Recap...

    While I am one of the first to deal out criticism when stuff doesn't work as expected, I do acknowledge when I have received first class assistance.
    None mentioned, none forgotten so I won't name any names, but a sincere and grateful thank you to everyone involved!

    After a walkthrough of hardware switch settings, particular cables to particular connectors, software settings, TeamViewer session and whatnot,
    the most logical reason for this problem is that a (loose) connection must have been the reason for the error (to the control boxes in the desk).

    We got the CMM-VE working and it wasn't PC-DMIS' fault and a firmware up/downgrade wasn't needed. Slight smile


    Is it really that simple?
    I had the same problem today and I could not solve it.
    The customer is crazy) To date, the CMM configuration is next: DEA Scirocco, b3clc, PH10MQ, SP600,TP200,TP2,CMS106,CMM-VE (Falcon64 4.61),IS1-2,ACR3, SCR200, PC-DMIS 2017R2 64
    I came to set up CMS106,CMM-VE, IS1-2, TP200, ACR3, SCR200.
    It remains only to solve the problem with calibration CMM-VE.
    I used to have a lot of experience with TESA VISIO (200,300, MAN,DCC), Optive 321,322, but did not have such problems.

    When trying to calibrate pixel size and focus the error says "*ERROR: ReadPos failed 0/0" . I tryed to sensifocus in live view and i get same error. But! If i press sensifocus on more sharp (clear, big) element I haven't error. I tryed to change focus range, light.
    I have the feeling that the optics do not have enough permission to find the focus on the center of sqware of Hexagon slide. Also maybe I have a poor-quality slide.
    As for connecting the wires in the table...One of the wires that connects from CMM-Ve to Output Channel IS1-2 really barely keeps. I have the feeling that it is made smaller than the connector.

    if you have fresh information about this problem help me, please.
    Thank you in advance!
