Autocalibrate Probe settings not taking/setting right

Has anybody experienced a problem where they change tools in a program, and then insert an autocalibrate routine, but it doesn't follow the paramater sets that you have defined for that specific tool? So, this is a side problem to the program that I've been working on recently (if you want you can look at my history, but I don't think it really has anything to do with this problem, it might be a software problem), and I just can't figure it out. Basically, I just use 2 probes to inspect the part, and both of them have 2 separate calibrate parameter sets, but neither of them are uptaking the settings that I have specified in the dialog box. This is the first time that I have used auto-cal, so, I might have checked or unchecked something I wasn't supposed to, but I read over every single option in the probe calibration window and it's got me stumped. I'm sure somebody is going to tell me to rebuild the probe. :'( lolololololol. And...I get it. But one probe file has so many angles from other programs..... I might just create another probe file for this one program since the current one doesn't have tool changes in those other programs I mentioned before.

  • Well, if you want to be able to put in 10 hits and see/hear 10 hits then drop back to DCC mode. There is also the chance that if someone else calibrates just using the 'measure' button and not through parameter set, whatever settings they use will be your default the next time you attempt to calibrate through 'measure'. So if it seems like your settings won't 'stick' that may be why.
