Same Probes Different Programs

Ontario
So i have two programs that use multiple probes including star probes. Both program use MOSTLY same probes.
Problem i am having is i can't calibrate all the probes in one shift because they all have multiple angles and not enough time in my shift to do them.
So i calibrate probes for which ever program i am using on that particular day.
But now i have to use both programs. But if i calibrate probes in one program it gave weird results in other program and vice versa. How can i fix it?
Can i name them differently in each program or is there any other way ? Thank you in advance

  • You need to answer the "has the sphere moved" question correctly and use a stylus on all the spheres correctly.

    This is easiest to remember if you (at least in your head) think of ONE position on ONE stylus as being the master or god.

    You qualify that stylus/angle FIRST EVERY TIME you turn the cmm controller on or move the qualification artifact (qual sphere), and tell PcDmis that the sphere moved (DCC or manually find it, doesn't matter).

    EVERY other stylus you qualify, the answer is NO.

    If you are answering the yes/no prompt incorrectly, or using a probe after saying yes that wasn't ACTUALLY qualified on THAT sphere before, you will never get good results.

    Don't shut off the controller every night, it will help you if you can leave the sphere in place. But you have to be EXTREMELY OCD about that yes/no and which probe/angle you use when saying yes.

    This is not something that you can say, aw screw it just this once, I'm in a hurry.

    EVERY TIME.

    Or you get bad results and get to redo the rack over and over and over.
