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?
There's actually two files that need to be changed. They will both have the same name, but ones under /armdata and the other is in /armdata.s6x. It worked for me changing just one, but the /armdata file is the calibrated value, and the /armdata.s6x looks to be the nominal value. Probably wouldnt hurt to change the PLTH (probe length) if you use a different length probe, but I doubt it will make a difference after you calibrate the new probe.
