Calibrate a "mounting point". There's a tab in the rack window. It should be to zero, so the cmm goes to zero (in startup alignment).
Don't forget to add each tip of each probe in the rack of each probe...

also when changing tips and the cmm head approaches from -Y direction it skims the front of the probe changer closely enough to rub the TP20.

the probe changer is located on the -X side (far left) of the machine with the ports parallel to the Y axis

thoughts?

For the mount point, go with the cmm where you want the cmm goes before and after loading, then click on something like "read position".

In rack definitions, there's also a "modify" button, where you can enter a distance before and after loading, for each port.
