Calibrate Tips vs ScanRDV. Combined?

Jamison

I am getting into scanning on 3 of the CMM machines I have, they all support scanning. My question is on the calibration and how i should approach it. I have autocalibration programs that we use to calibrate our whole library at once. I currently just calibrate them all using the standard calibrate tips routine. However i was made aware of the ScanRDV and am wondering if i need to do both routines? or is doing the ScanRDV covers both? It looks like when i run the ScanRDV it takes hits as well.

    I have been wondering the same thing. I run the calibration program at the end of the shift and when I come in in the morning all tips are done. Takes about 5-6 hours so running it during work hours is generally not an option. Hopefully replying to this will get noticed and insight given. Is running both autocalibrations redundant?

    Hello Mike, when you are calibrating all of the TIP angles do you get a popup after loading a new probe to "Press OK when ready to move Wrist to T1A0B0? If not are you or somebody else aware of a way to configure this as a setting? It seems if you already get this pop up you can just select "Don't ask me again".

    No, program runs all the way from start to finish without any popup.
