From what I see you have about 34.576 of length to scan; I don't see the angle as only in the 1.924 reference dim. I cone with 3 or 4 circular scans should be sufficient.

Would like some insight from others on appropriate filtering and evaluation on a large diameter. I have set up this feature following the condensed cookbook guideline as a baseline. Requirements: Looking for size, location and roundness of a ~7" OD. Assume part is in an as-machined state with a fairly tight tolerance on size. Setup: Scanning using rotary table with Vast XT head, probing in X- axis, I believe it's a 3mm probe at the moment. Currently on Calypso 2023. Strategy: Speed .591"/s, 5000 points, 380º, 500 UPR, 10-5000 pre-filter, ±5 adj points, 3 sigma. Should these values be adjusted in any way and why? Would these values need to be adjusted if the part were to be shot-peened and what would those settings look like? Looking forward to learning from everyone. Thanks in advance!

If you still have the installation pack, it's stored in the tools folder.

Dont forget to CAD/Cad Model Comparison, to clean up any ghosting which usually occurs when you do this.

Well ok, by normalization you are talking about restriction in feature's evaluation tab. It' just calculating measured data with fixed attribute ( restricted ). You can get more correct center of partial circle by forcing calculation with norminal radius. Same applies to A1,2. Using "P" usually means projected. In TP you can use that for projected tolerance.

I also wanted to ask, whenever you press on the "P" you are able to change the measure reference length. Is changing the measured reference length similar to the "bended" function since you could change the reference length of your cylinder to only what was measured?

I'd say when and why. For example if I am checking a concentrcity and it is out tolerance, there are certain instances where checking normal vector within the datum feature will cause the concentricity to check better.

Thanks. All of our stations are always running the latest and greatest. Doesn't look like the Basic Reporting64 is installed.

Just wanted to comment that this is a very clever and efficient way of selecting a file in a directory. Very cool.

Okay. This is what I did. I'm attaching the settings (is it correct?) and the results, but I'm not clear about the report results. Thanks

In the start menu under CMM order or run, are you running from features or characteristics? I've found that running from Characteristics will sometime create unexpected dependencies, maybe because I've only run from the characteristics side maybe 10 times in 20 years(?). Depending on what version you're running, right click on the feature you are selecting to run and choose check use of selected features and see if it shows any unknown dependency - or - choose to execute the feature and see if it only runs or the other others you are seeing it do when chosen from the start menu. Just thinking out loud, do you have any mini-plans set-up in the program?

Allright - i was finally able to make a usable tolerance file I have implemented DIN EN 10243-1 F and E norm for length tolerances - selectable as +TOL-TOL Perhaps i'll work on those radiuses, but i can not find how to apply rule only on one side of tolerance. din10243-1.xml

The content of \config\env\values should be displayed using baseSystem().machine.environment.OMConfiguration.getMastersEnvMemory or baseSystem().machine.environment.OMConfiguration.classPool.Memory.env For Instance the default actuals path: baseSystem().machine.environment.OMConfiguration.getMastersEnvMemory.defaultPathForActuals It is just possible to access the underlying smalltalk layer using pcm. Actually, by Zeiss this kind of pcm code isn't intended to be used. So it is not documented and not easy to to figure it out.

That was what i am thinking too... But none of my strategies are dynamic or use PCM. Only manually selected from the run screen. I may have somehow "corrupted" my program. It is working fine in every other scenario I can contrive to test it except this well lived program.

There is a CZ, so do a localisation / best fit, select the 5 cylinders, and the plan A as datum, and check translation and rotation alowed

Hi Jisub, could you contact the support please with reference to this forum thread? Nanno

Hi, this is possible in Kiosk mode. Make sure to transform the reference points by Acquisition ► Measurement Series ► Transform Measurement Series... If there are reference points not on the part, make sure to have these points as premeasured reference points in the project, so it is clear which points are on the part and should be used for the transformation of the measurement series. In most cases it is easier and faster to build a measuring setup, where the sensor has access to both sides without turning the part manually in the scanning process. Nanno

In 2025, this setting has become global and can be found under the global measurement settings. It can still be configured separately for the inspection plan under "Prepare" and "File Output." The limit for measurement points can no longer be adjusted.

in 2024 it is "stylus system management" window that you need to go to. If I go to "Probing system qualification" there is no button to get to the "stylus system management".

Do you mean selecting features or characteristics with different strategies from the run screen? If so, my guess is one feature has a relation to the other, like one is needed for the alignment or condition of the other?

If you have a running program, then Joe's approach is the most efficient. If you are asking for new programs, then it's easier to extract features from CAD model and do base alignment first. It will rotate CAD model to match XYZ axis. But don't forget manually run that alignment. In menu CNC you can block edges which will block navigation of probe. Having wrongly rotated CAD model will move "circled" edges on wrong place. This "circled" edges means it's granite, so manually running alignment will tell Calypso where is granite. Not checking this can result in non working program without a reason.

I think you may be missing "Simulated Reference Points" in your "Measurements" compartment. During validation of paths you would have captured reference points which you can then select and go to Construct>Point Cloud>Simulated Reference Points. I'm no expert here just a bit of what I remember from the VMR training I got last year.

This is a new program so just to clarify should i create datum A B AND C on the cad file or the probed features. Thanks

"P" will evaluate in nominal length of cylinder for example. Bended will evaluate on measured length. I am not sure what you mean by your correction of vectors. On points or on what or when and why you do it.

Open a new program, load the cad model. Create the datums for your alignment. (A, B C). Then click on Cad, Save, and save as the new model. Load this new model into your existing program.
