Pick master tip when choosing calibrate all tips?

We have a mistral, ph10T and a global, ph10mq.
When calibrating the mistral I started with the master probe, measure all tips, yes sphere moved.
A0B0 is the first tip in the active tip list, but the machine used A15B-90 as the master.
Any ideas why? or where this is selected?

I want to write auto calibrate programs and had planned on using A0B0 for the master tips.
Does anyone know if certain machines or controllers require specific master tip angles?
  • You want to check the box 'User defined calibration order' and be sure A0B0 has a 1 next to it.
    But master 'tip' is meaningless, you want a master probe! Specially only used for finding the calibration spheres.
  • In an ideal world yes, but not everyone can afford to have a dedicated module/tip just for a Master probe, or in terms of available rack slots anyway.

    For auto qual program have one which just does A0B0 (create a parameter set) of master probe saying sphere has moved.

    Then have a second parameter set of all tips but A0B0 and say sphere has not moved.
