Program new tips?

BlueRay
We're running a Romer Absolute arm 7535, and are currently shopping some new tips. My question is whether or not there is a simple way to change the tips of the male probes from say a point probe to a 6mm ball probe, and I guess reprogram it to know what it's been change to.
My thought is that maybe I can get away with buying one 4" length male point probe, and later swap the tip to a ball probe if needed.

  • No, it's not simple.

    Each probe has an identifying resistor in its body, so the Arm recognizes it when it's plugged in, and pulls the correct probe file. You'd probably have to:

    Physically alter probe
    Edit the existing probes within RDS Control Panel
    Requalify altered probe
    Doublecheck that it works in PCDMIS (shoot an artifact a few times, note results)

    Sounds like a major pain instead of just investing in a new probe....
