Small Probe diameter during calibration

Hi guys, due to the amount of vibration in the shop here we have to switch between analog and TTP. I have been using Analog up until today but then I switched over to TTP and I'm getting small probe diameters on calibration.

I am trying to calibrate a TP20 system and my probe diameter keeps measuring around 1.972 (2mm ball) I have adjusted the touch speed from 6mm/Sec all the way down to 2mm/Sec with no changes in probe diameter.

Do I need to go into the Probe force settings and start messing around ? and if I do this will it interfere with my Analog settings?

Thanks!

Make sure your cal sphere is defined with the diameter in alignment with the sticker that is on the sphere (generally the ones from B&S/Wilcox/Hexagon are 1" nominal, but end up being something like 0.98417" like the one i'm looking at right now).

TP20 probe forces I'm sure are --and should be-- different than your analog settings.
here's mine for TP200 and HP-S-X1h, for example

TP200

HP-S-X1H

but none of those will effect the mechanical units, the TP2 and TP20. The 'forces' are built into the units themselves and are not 'tweakable' (well, you CAN tweak the TP2 with an allen wrench, but there is nothing you can do with the TP20).
