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

  • Auto-calibration and parameter sets will be your friend in resolving this issue.
    Either with excel or a text file, note the probefile name and the probe angles used in each program. With excel, you can remove duplicates quite easily to see what tips are used between both programs then you can generate your parameter set(s) to be individual part specific or you can have a multi-part version to reduce your time.

    FYI - to save time searching through your program go to Edit>Preferences>Edit Window Layout, uncheck all but Show Tips. Then you can review the probes/angles used much faster.
    Just remember to go back and reselect the other options so alternate users don't think something CRAZY has happened to the program. (or later opened programs as these selections are not program specific)
