Adding Probe Angles AFTER Calibration Sphere has been moved

CarbideEVO
Good morning everyone,

After searching the forum (seems using google to do it gets better results!), I can't find a clear answer to this question that has been asked many times Confused Rolling eyes :

After calibrating A0B0, and additional angles - If I move the sphere, but discover I need additional angles, I would recalibrate all previous angles, and the new angles.

However, I read people saying this is unnecessary - as long as I recalibrate A0B0, and select "Yes, the sphere has moved" (because it has!), and measure the NEW angles..

that the previously calibrated angles and the newly added angles will all related to each other.

Is this true? Is this explained in the help file? What is the source of your information?

Thank you for your time!

  • Yes you are correct, just calibrate A0B0 and your new angle, however I need to ask you if this A0B0 is your master probe (or master probe angle)?

    Whether your move your sphere or not, you should only answer yes manual or yes dcc with your mater probe (or master tip). Generally most people use a master probe (in A0B0 of course) and have no other angles on that probe. The master probe is used only for finding the cal sphere and not measuring. This is not set in stone so if you have to use your master probe to measure, then use it. If you need to make an angle on your master probe, then do it.

    The work flow is the same for a master probe in A0B0 only and other probes with angles. So I have a probe that has angles and I already calibrated it but i need another angle. I just load my master probe, answer yes manual or yes dcc, calibrate the master probe, then load my probe that has a new angle and calibrate that new angle only, and i'm done.
