Parameter Sets and Autocalibration

Myself and another colleague were working on some Operator programs, and we were trying to find faster ways to incorporate Autocalibrate commands instead of them using the "Calibrate Tips" option from the Marked Set Window.

We were playing around with parameter sets, and were trying to find ways to avoid having to make a set for each program, but a set for each probe build instead. We created a parameter set with no tips selected.
And selected the option "Used in Routine" for the "Tips to use if none explicitly selected". It worked, and let us create this set, and we put that Parameter Set in the Autocalibrate command. It worked with no issues, even between Load Probe commands.

Is there a risk or downside to us streamlining the process in this manner? Has anyone else tried to use an Empty Parameter set in this manner?

I've tried to implement this into my factor with not a great amount of success,

Can you post some snippets of setting up the parameter please incase I am missing something.

Do you still need some help with creating a parameter with visual aid? There isn't much to the set itself, and you only create 1 per probe file. All with the same parameter set name. As seen below, my Parameter set test I just named it "AUTOSET".

Hi William,

Yes so ive tried to do what you set out below however im still running into issues, it will only pick one angle out and calibrate that one angle

Could you possibly show me your parameter set window? I'll take a screenshot of mine now.

Are you adding an autocalibrate command into your program like here?

            AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=AUTOSET, QUALTOOL_MOVED=YES_DCC,
                          CHECK COLLISION=NO, SHOW_SUMMARY=NO, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=YES

Yes, I've used it as a per part before creating a new parameter each time as seen below

 LOADPROBE/LEITZ TREE 07 18 MM_DISC
              TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=-0.0001, -0.001, 1, ANGLE=0.7082
              AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=455-011.001-007 Op 4, QUALTOOL_MOVED=NO, 
                            CHECK COLLISION=NO, SHOW_SUMMARY=NO, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=NO
              MOVE/CLEARPOINT
              LOADPROBE/LEITZ TREE 03 03X35
              TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=-0.0001, -0.001, 1, ANGLE=0.7082
              AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=455-011.001-007 Op 4, QUALTOOL_MOVED=NO, 
                            CHECK COLLISION=NO, SHOW_SUMMARY=NO, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=NO
              MOVE/CLEARPOINT
              LOADPROBE/LEITZ TREE 02 2X50
              TIP/T1A0B0, SHANKIJK=-0.0001, -0.001, 1, ANGLE=0.7082
              AUTOCALIBRATE/PROBE, PARAMETER_SET=455-011.001-007 Op 4, QUALTOOL_MOVED=NO, 
                            CHECK COLLISION=NO, SHOW_SUMMARY=NO, OVERWRITE_RESULTSFILE=NO

Here is my autocalibrate running. 5 angles in program.

Does it work for just 1 of those tips?

And you are making a new set for each unique probe build?

Yes so my autocalibration does multiple tips as I used to set it up per part like so

This then would run through (For instance one program each probe has 13 angles and has 5 probes and it will do it all no worries) but if i try to set it up like you have it only ever picks the one probe angle

Interesting. You selecting ALL makes it run? What version of PC-DMIS are you in? I don't know that it matters, but I use 2021.2.

Also I do it per probe build, not per part basis.

2023.2, so when I've usually set up this is how i used to do it by using mark used however if I leave it blank and then select used in routine it doesn't select any angles other than the one.

All I do is F9 my probe, click measure, then modify the window above to be "Used in Routine". I also do DCC+DCC. I see you just do DCC. Not sure if that even matters either.

Just went downstairs to the CMM and had a look and still cant seem to get it to work.

This is the code that is used to implement autocalibration currently into programs, and from there we would create a parameter based on the part, however I'm hoping to get this new way you found of doing it to work so it can go into every program we do.
