Still a newbie to all this but I was proficient with our old 1808 without servos. I still use an old Bendix 1000 with ridged probes for reference (you all can chuckle now). Issue I'm having is that when I try to build a new probe, there's nothing in the drop down box. When I delete the probe file and try to type in a new probe, everything in the probe description becomes blank. I actually had to take a picture with my phone as it wouldn't let me take a screen shot. Below that, the options that are given are not what I need and I cannot override/enter what I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Yea, I'm not familiar with that system or those components but looks like you got something going on, I just dunno what! Also, I've never seen an asterisk beside anything but the tip, indicating a lack of calibration results.
Try this...navigate to the folder in windows explorer where your probe files are and make a copy of your 3x20 probe. Paste it and rename to 2x20. then in the probe dialog box in PCDMIS select the 2x20 probe and click the "Edit" button and change the diameter and see if that works...
On my machine I have a Tesastar-SM head rather than the HH-A-T5 like you have. When I create a new probe that head loads automatically. I do not know what's driving that because I've never had to worry about it. My next connection is my probe body which is a LSPX-1. On your probe dialog your head is not autoloading, and your available options do not contain a head. That combined with the fact there is an Asterisk by your head leads me to believe at some point, someone has manipulated your PROBE.DAT file....
Maybe I'm wrong...
The asterisk just indicates that it is favorited in you probe builder. It's so you don't have to scroll through all options when building new probes. If you click the star it will show you favorited components.
zhicks, didn't know that. Have just recently migrated from 2011 to 2022. I don't believe that was an option in 2011. @abynrml... this might be the issue. Click the star and see if your options are there...
