Hey I am new to Pc-dmis for the Vision

Hey Curt, I dont have the white light scanner but I have a Mycrona w/ TTP and a camera. Like nKay said you always have to be sure that your probe offset between your camera and TTP is correct. However, on my machine the camera is the primary probe and my offset calibration sequence is as follows; select the camera> calibrate offset> answer YES to has the tool moved>select TTP>select ring gage for tool>answer NO to has the tool moved(if the TTP completely misses the ring select MAN+DCC prior to measuring ring gage. It is helpful to set your prehit in your probe utilities options to a larger number, say 4mm) Additionally, w/ the camera as the primary probe its nominals should be whole numbers(in my case 0,0,78) If this number gets corrupted every other offset will have to be reestablished. Alignments are the most critical piece of the PCDMIN puzzle and you will need to master this. Assigments are used to assign values to variables and will allow you to do anything the software doesnt have already built into it. Vision metrology requires that the part is clean, free of burrs and that the feature to be measured is normal to the camera focal plane. I hope this helps but this is just the tip of the iceburg. Be sure to visit this site often as it will be of immeasurable help.
