We recently loaded 4.2MR1 on our B&S (Faro) arm and are having an issue with the probe comp not functioning as you would think it should.
Did a standard PLP alignment on a surface plate parallel bar, with the lower left corner being the X,Y,Z origin. When 2 hits for a line are taken on the Y origin surface after the alignment, I get a result of zero. However, when doing a line on the opposing surface (parallel to Y surface), the result is 6mm larger (using a 6mm tip). Probe comp is on.
Now...after trying some other things, all hits taken, no matter where, are 6mm larger...and it says probe comp is still on??????
I found the problem.
In the version prior to 4.2 (we were using 3.2), the probe was "non-vectoring", meaning you had to pull away prior to using the done button to establish the vector. It appears in 4.2 that the probe orientation now establishes the vector.
