Concentricity, how can I get a proper reading?

So, I am using a romer arm to measure concentricity of two holes. With a traditional CMM (and different software) we have found the concentricity of the holes to be 0.26mm. However, with the romer arm it shows the concentricity to be 2.9mm. If you take the acuals from the two holes and calculate the concentricity it should read like the traditional CMM???? Why is PC DMIS not giving me the correct reading? Any suggestions on how to measure this dimension with the Romer ARM?

    I've seen a lot of falsely designed concentricities in my time. Make sure you're leveling correctly, or you risk the following:
