I am using a 0.7X20mm probe (long thin shaft). What are the best calibration settings for this probe? It keeps failing calibration for a few tip angles (.0004 deviation). I am using DCC+DCC 31 hits (5 levels) with a start angle of 10 and end angle of 90.
No one has mentioned it yet so I'll just throw it in here, for any probe tip smaller than 1mm (so the 0.7 & 0.5) you can try selecting the "Default" option/radio button (instead of User Defined) under the Calibration Mode section. PC-DMIS will recognize the size of the probe tip is under 1mm and adjust the start and end angles accordingly so the probe doesn't shank out. May or may not help, but might be worth a shot if you're trying to explore all your options.
Good point.
So I figured it out! It was the module force (wrong color). The smart people that worked here last threw random colors on random probes. I played musical chairs and everything came in tolerance (within.0002 STD DEV).
