Whats involved in switching to a different probe head?

We bought a used Sheffield D28 that has a Tesastar-M probe head. We mostly use star probes, so dont really need a rotating head. And I've heard that this model head can be a problem... thinking of switching to a PH6 or at least getting a used one to have as a backup if the Tesastar conks out. But I dont know whats involved in swapping out different probe heads... Any info about this would be appreciated.

  • Maybe my question, "whats involved in 'resetting the parameters' of a tesastar-m" was considered unfair by you since it might be construed that I might be able to fix it myself and thereby not hire Hexagon to fix it? Unless its very simple I wouldn't have the time to try and fix it myself anyway... Just would like to know the rough idea of if its a big job or not.
    Anyone else able to enlighten me a little?
