Calibrate Tips vs ScanRDV. Combined?

I'm not an expert on this so take this advice with a grain of salt. Are you selecting "DCC+DCC"?  If so, then I think it will do what you describe and take hits points as well, but will only report the ScanRDV deviation.  Try selecting "DCC", then it will just do the ScanRDV without the hit points.  When I calibrate, I only use "DCC+DCC" for the Primary Tip and "DCC" for everything else.  I do a regular calibration first, then a ScanRDV, both using the "DCC" option.

Also, do you know if your CMM is a chrome model?  If it is, then uncheck "TRAX Calibration" and you shouldn't have to do a ScanRDV.  It will scan the sphere during normal calibration.  If you don't have a chrome model, then don't uncheck it.  

Again, I'm not 100% sure if I'm correct here.  So if someone else gives you different advice, then ignore mine.

Ill give that a shot, We have 3 different models at my work. One of them is the Chrome, its scanning is completely different than the other models. It will scan up and over, around, and some loops. The other models will do a single side scan.

I think the TRAX calibration is for machines that DON'T support VFT (Vibration Free Transmission).  The chrome does support it, so TRAX calibration needs to be UNCHECKED for the Chrome model and it will scan the sphere like you just described during normal calibration.  For machines that do not support VFT, like the green and blue models for example, TRAX calibration needs to remain checked and a ScanRDV done in addition to the regular calibration.  Using "DCC" rather than "DCC+DCC" should stop it from taking hit points again during ScanRDV.  

Again, I'm not 100% sure I'm correct with all that.

Ive been doing as you suggested and so far my results seem to work as they should.
