Questions about "Activ" compensation

On "old" controllers (ie B3CLC), under "testsoft", you can see the pitch compensation, also a "posit" compensation.
1- How can I see those values with a new controller, like DC800 ?
2- In the machine interface set up, what are the "volcomp parameters" to use ? (Leitz protocol now - don't know after retrofit to DC controller, next month)

  • Someone else ? In the manufactory, in soft programmers ?
  • Pretty sure you are locked out of any kind of comp map info on any controller supplied/built/sold by Hex over the last 15 years (at least).

    I'm working on the calculation of uncertainties on cmms (thanx to shut down, for this point only Slight smile  ​), and the temp comp is a important part of uncertainty
    I can calculate the pitch created by the difference of temperature between top and bottom of granite, the difference of length between the scales and the granite, I just would like to check them (question #1)
    In addition, I would like to know what parameters to use, without checking (for example) if the pitch from temperature is took into account or not (question #2).
    For this last question, I think every user should be informed on what parameters to use, function on its cmm set up...
