help. corrupt or unknown probe ROMER0

When i load pc dmis it comes up right away with "CORRUPT OR UNKNOWN PROBE FILE: ROMER0"
I have 2 6mm probe files now and only one actual probe. I am very new to this romer arm and am getting crazy numbers because of this. I am on serious crunch time right now. Any suggestions?

Have you tried deleting the probe file and creating a new one?

Yes i have tried to delete the prb. Files and it still says the same thing. I removed ALL my probe files and tried also. It still "loads" the bad probe on startup. Like the probe data is in the arm or the hasp. It even replaces the bad probe file back into my directory. Im super confused. I am very new to the arm like i said, but this seems odd.

Is it a seven axis arm that has an upper and center probe port? If so, make sure the port selection switch is set to the proper port.

Did you ever get your problem fixed? I am having the same problem but only with probe 5 and probe 4. The rest of them are fine.

I copied my userprobe.dat file from my usb drive that came with the arm to the pc-dmis folder and it fixed my problem.

What type of arm? (Stinger, Infinite 1.0, Infinite 2.0, etc..)
What version of PC-DMIS?
What version of interface software? (WinRDS or RDS)

Was tech suport contacted?

If.you are using a Romer Absolute arm, you can delete the probe file by opening the RDS control panel, and choose probe tab. Arm should be power on and connected to see this tab. Make sure that you dont have the probe connected, highlight the bad probe that you want to delete then click on delete button. It should say 6mm ruby, next time you plug in your probe to your arm it will ask you to calibrate that probe.
If you are using Romer Infinite arm, probe file are always save on the arm so everytime you turn on the arm, it loads that information. Unless you turn off the autoload armspec option on WinRDS, armspec tab then it will use whatever armspec you have on your PC.
