probe tip not measuring correctly

recently i bought new ruby ball tips for my portable romer omega arm. in my nievity i thought that different dia ruby tips could be screwed in and used with exisisting probes e.g using a 5 mm diax10mm in a 6mm dia probe. when i measure it still thinks i have a 6mm dia ball in the probe. can i change anything in pcdimis which recognises that its a 5mm ball in the probe?

  • If your using Cimcore Utilities for your arm, open up C:\Program Files\CIMCORE\WinRDS\armdata and open the file corresponding to the probe you want to change diameter on. The files are named Probe.1,Probe.2,etc. They open with notepad. You should see something similar to the following

    Serial No:
    LastCal=MM/DD/YYYY
    $$
    BALL 6
    PCOD 0 1.000000
    PLOC 0 0.000000
    PDIA 0 15.000000
    PLTH 1 50.164700
    PTMX 1 0.012180
    PTMY 1 -0.001170

    Change PDIA to the size of the new probe diameter, save it and your good to go.
