Offset in CMM

Hi,

I am running our brand new CMM for the first time and I am seeing that in DCC mode the machine has an offset. I wrote a very simple program to do manual and then automated alignment. When machine goes into DC mode and tries measuring the first plane it misses the plane by ~6mm. If there is no crash the program continues and measures all three planes but with the offset. It is very easy to see because my planes are thin pads on big housing. I am also new to CMM and have no idea why this is happening. Any suggestions?​

    maybe something simple,
    is the correct CAD model used?
    Maybe the component is machined incorrectly
    wrong raw part?

    try checking the component with a steel measure in two places, check whether PLNC and PLNB are really where they should be

    Your code in the PDF file looks ok from a distance.
    PLNC and PLNB is 0.3 off from nominal, is that because he doesn't hit them correctly?​
