Automatic Probe Qualification

InspectorJester
Good morning!
Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5 on Windows 7 x86
----------
I'm embarking on the typical quest of autocalibration routines.
This quest involves an Optiv Performance 443 Camera probe, as well as a plethora of touch probes. I'm moreso concerned with the Camera and 1 probe.

I was able to create a standard autocalibration routine for the single probe using Parameter sets.
However, being an Optiv, I have this big camera I would like to calibrate.

This is a little more complicated unforunately!
However, I am confident. Perhaps overly so?

Regarding this post: https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc-dmis-enterprise-metrology-software/pc-dmis-vision/21364-auto-qualification-issues-with-optiv-1-vision-system-with-pcdmis-2001

I am having similar problems as the individual in the aforementioned post. When I calibrate the touch probe, I am using a parameter set with the defaults and MAN+DCC. I am able to start the program and run it, automatically calibrate/qualify the touch probe. However, when I calibrate the camera, the crosshair Hit Target "EM1" to 3 does not show up. I am curious as to why?

I am unable to autocalibrate the camera because of this. To compensate I manually calibrate the camera and have an autocal program for the probes. But I'd like a 1 button solution to both if possible!

Anyone have success with autocalibrating a camera?

  • I think I'm trying to overcomplicate the process.

    All I need to do is automatically define the location of the ring, and update it via the measurements of the camera. I would think that I should do this every time I calibrate, for posterity if nothing else. I thought that's the whole point of calibration, relating the camera location to the ring location, then a probe to the ring location so the probe and the camera know where they are in relation to one another.

    If the camera doesn't know where the ring is, how could it accurately calibrate? And if I can only manually find the location of the ring using the camera outside of an autocalibration routine, then having the camera in an autocalibration at all would be pointless, because I would have to initally define its location manually.

    Right?
