comp vs uncomp point

I'm sure the question has been asked but here goes. When I'm measuring a point I am turning the probe comp off. For some reason my upper management (who do not run the equipment) are telling me to NOT shoot them as an uncomp point. Other than me telling them that a comp point is giving me a false reading how do I explain o them this is the proper way?

  • I measure all my "points" with the "compensation off". You just need to be aware what type of measurements you are doing. I mostly measure my points as "auto vector points" with the "comp off". This works great for measuring tooling ball pads, or using hidden bar measurements where you need the measurement to be at the center of the reflector. I've been doing it this way for the last 10 years with PCDMIS and it has worked flawlessly, plus we also have Spatial Analyzer and when you measure a point in that software there is no radial compensation applied to the measured point....which means its "comp off". Hope this helps.
