Autocalibrate Global Used

Is it possible to create an autocalibration program that only calibrates global used angles for each probe build? Currently it calibrates all tip angles for each probe.

  • This is certainly possible, but I am not sure of a straightforward method of doing so.

    What I would do is go to this thread and use 's Script he made for Excel
    You will need to select the correct PCDMIS Object Library version for whichever version of PCDMIS you use in excel for it to run.

    After you've done all that, I'd take all the tips found for each probe file, make a new program named "1X40MM" for a 1X40 probe build and load a probe in. Put every tip in the generated list of found tips into the program. (May take a while if it's a lot) Then F9 your probe build, and click mark used(essentially we compiled all used tips for this build) and turn them into your own personal "Global" Parameter Set.

    Only downside is I can't think of a way to automatically update the list of probe tips. You'd have to note when you compiled this set of tips, and if you ever add any more to add it to the list in the programs you created for each probe build.

    There is also probably a better way, or Global Used functionality is supposed to already do this, but may be finicky.
