Dwell before each hit taken?

I noticed that sometimes when taking points along the contour of a part, I can see the readout showing good vector numbers while I scan, but after I make a point group and then try to make a profile dimension for the report, shows the numbers all over the place.

I pondered this a bit and tryed a few things before noticing that if I come to a complete stop, and dwelled for just a second before each hit, everything reads fine. When I take points while the ball probe is still moving, the points are thrown out seemingly at random.

Now I know that if the probe is gliding along the surface too fast, the romer will make an unpleasant sound letting you know to slow down, but I'm refferring to times that it's not making that sound, but still throwing the points out

Is there a dwell setting of some sort that can adjust how long you must sit before each hit?
Our old romer, (that still uses Supra Stuff,) can take acurate points while the probe is moving with no issue, so I got a bit spoiled using that old dinosaur

  • Yeah I understand why it faults and I've established how to make hits work properly, that's not an issue. No problems with getting good points. The issue is with how slow I'm required to go to make good points happen. I'd like to know how I can make this software read faster so I don't have to slow down so much.

    I got used to using our old Romer where I could glide the probe across a surface hitting the button whenever I want and Supra Stuff knew exactly where I was at each moment. I find it hard to belive that our brand new version of PC-DMIS requires so much more time to think than our ancient MS DOS software, but maybe it does afterall?
