Star Probe Qualification Quindos 7

Gleeson97
Hi,

I am having trouble working out star probe qualification.

I am trying to Qualify a star probe set up that has only three probes in it (120° apart) - there is not one going down in the Z axis.

I am able to qualify using the "QualifyTool" command and doing them separately, but I wanted to change to use the "QualifyStarTool" command. The help on Quindos doesn't give much explanation as to what all the check boxes actually mean.

One of the first things it ask is for the Tool name. So typing one in that doesn't yet exist (like I would with the QualifyTool command) and when executing it didn't seem to create it. I'm also unsure of what to put in the other boxes.

Can anyone help?
Thanks

  • to add... prior to QualStarTool, one of the probes of the star must already be qualified with QualifyTool. Therefore, the name of the probe 'model' is the probe that is already qualified. Also, keep in mind, the QualStarTool command will only work if the Reference probe that was calibrated at some point is centered relative to the/any star cluster you are trying to calibrate. The reference probe need not be part of the star cluster (ie. can be on a separate collet, in different magazine rack), but, again, it must be the center relative to a star cluster.

    So for doing a 3-star cluster, doesnt make much sense to use QualifyStarTool since one of the probes has to already be qualified with QualifyTool to be used as the 'model', might as well do the remaining two... but it will work if desired. Obviously, for large number of star cluster, it is very handy. However, one drawback, if after qualification you notice for example that one of the probes had high form error, you cant re-calibrate just that one probe with QualStarTool.... when execute QualStarTool, it runs the entire star, except the 'model' probe
