IJK problems with tactile and optics

sealevel
I'm at a new company so the Optiv Performance 443 is a new beast to me. Apparently this machine was a floor demo from Hexagon R.I. and was giving the last guy problems as well, but no one here remembers exactly what they were. Anyway, here's my problem....Every probe or camera I build is stuck with the same bad IJKs: <.45399> <.0005> <.89101>
I try to edit the IJK values in the probe utilities but the numbers won't stick.
Another annoyance is that the sliders to set the illumination value for top, bottom and ring lights are real funky. I move the slider up to 95 or so and get no light, then above that it turns everything full-blown white.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
edit: I should add am using 2015.1 sp10 and 2016 sp8.

  • In the HELP file, search for 'Calibrate Optics', this will help with calibrating the camera to the artifact slide that should be with the machine. Do not calibrate the optics if you don't have the slide artifact. It should be a small clear card about the size of a credit card.

    Next, search for 'Calibrate Illumination', this will calibrate the illumination settings of the Top Light, Back Light, and Ring Light. This will affect the light settings. I use a white sheet of paper. To find the focal point, I zoom into the edge of paper to get a clear rugged edge of the paper. Then move the camera over so all your see is the paper (no edges of the paper). Using the white piece of paper is used for the Top and Ring Light. For Back Light, take the paper off and have the camera sit over the open glass.

    Now, 'Calibrate Probe Offset' is where you calibrate the tactile probes to the vision probe. The vision probe is the Master Probe. View this thread on doing this correctly. If not done correctly, you will see the jacked up stuff you seeing now. http://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc-dmis-enterprise-metrology-software/pc-dmis-vision/390026-vision-and-probe-calibration-offset

    Good luck.
