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?

  • You should be able to do a plane or cone calibration for the new tip also if you don't have a sphere. Sphere is BEST but plane and cone will calibrate also. We had a bit of trouble loading up a small size probe tip but we finally got it done. We had to do a plane calibration first on the new tip before any other (cone) would work.

    I'm not totally familiar with the Omega arm, read read read on calibration.
