Vision Offset Calibration Order

I am using the Dual Z 443 with PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP6, and I am really confused with the Vision Offset Calibration Order.
Is it a must to calibrate the vision first then touch or is it ok to calibrate the touch first?

Once a while I check the vision-touch offset and the touch-touch offset, sometimes the vision-touch offset goes wrong, while
the touch-touch offset is ok, if i calibrate the vision-touch offset with the vision first, at this moment will the touch-touch offset
goes wrong? If so, will it be possible if I calibrate the touch first then vision to save time and make sure all the offset is good?

  • I think Bfire is correct his way sounds just fine.

    I just want to add my two cents.

    I write programs daily using both my Optics and TTP.

    My order is:
    -Calibrate my main TTP to my sphere hit "YES" if the tool has moved.
    -Calibrate any other tips to the sphere but say "NO" ( I only do this for my star probes)
    -Calibrate your TTP to the ring next and select "YES" again and run MAN+DCC
    -Calibrate your optics to the ring and select "NO" and make sure "Calibrate Probe Offset" is selected
    -Lastly I calibrate my main TTP to the ring again.

    In my experiences I am not sure but I have done this calibration so many times and for some reason sometimes one order works one time and it will not work the next time. This is the only order of operation I have found to be full proof to work everytime.

    Good Luck!!
