Maybe it could. Uhm I don't know it's locked. Thanks for the help tho.

Thanks Jeff, we just installed the 2025 version and we are trying to workout the bugs.

That "Standard" option - what's there? I am wondering if you can do manual path - i remember when i was doing qualification for disk i had to do manual path - defining own points. Perhaps this would be the way. But if you have smaller sphere, then it would be better to use that.

probes 6 single points and I do not feel that this is a good enough process to qualify the "Styli"

Well we would like to just stick to using the 30mm sphere that we use for all our styli qualifications just to keep it simple. We only have two modes to use for qualification and if we use the geometry re-qualification it actually does use the sphere coverage correctly and will not go to the equator but at the same time it only probes 6 single points and I do not feel that this is a good enough process to qualify the sphere. Scanning would be better but when we use that method it always goes to the equator and ignores the sphere coverage.

You can define how you will calibrate your probe - pasive, tensor, dynamic tensor. I also found you posted a question in another post. That is not working?

what do you mean not using tensor?

You can only make your program to calibrate selected probes - you can make program for every probe you have, which would be wise , to have all probes calibrated at same time. There is no way to get list of probes used in all programs.

I think if you reduce coverage and not using tensor, then it should do the trick.

I have 4-sided star with really short arms which cause it to shank out during qualification. Is there any way to prevent the tactile scanning from going to the equator so that it does not shank out?

Is there any way to qualify a on the sphere without going to the equator?

All I want for Christmas is for Zeiss to fix the planner.... 2025 is broke. nothing works that correct way anymore.

I can't believe I never knew that. Thank you.

Hi all, Why does even the latest Calypso calibration still suck? Why is there no option like “Mark Used” in PC-DMIS? Is there any quick and easy way to create a calibration program instead of going through each feature to check which probe it uses? Even then, we still have to manually input the formula to check the sigma and the radius. Finally, is it possible to create a single combined program that calibrates all the styli used across all programs?

Calypso needs major UI revitalization and a genuine modernization from start to finish. As much as I love Calypso and it's intelligent approach to digital metrology, I find myself flirting with intelligent UI advancements in newer software such as QVI's Zone3 (version 14 and newer). The user experience is paramount in software, and although noteworthy development and improvements are happening in Calypso, most of these arise from the math and geometry geeks at Zeiss. They still undervalue the critical importance of UI and visual elements.

we are doing with probing 6 points all same angle.

The release notes say it was removed from 2024 and future versions, although my own 2024 install still has it. You might have to use 2023 or some such version to convert your database files before getting back to 2025.

Hi @Tom Prophet The solution to your issue is a setting in windows, not Calypso. To fix this: Go to the computer you mentioned that opens the image in Paint. Right click on any image file that has the same extension as the one you use for part setup instructions (usually this is either a .jpg or .png file). Then, click the "change" button to assign a different default app.

I agree.

Thank you much...

@Tom Prophet Go to the file location of your image. Right click the image, go down to properties. In the window that opens, you will see "Type of File:" and directly underneath that "Opens with:". Click the Change button, and select the preferred app (Microsoft Photos App?).

That file type is probably associated with Paint on that PC. Just set it back to the normal picture application.

Hi all, I'm new to Calypso software and I'm running 3 CMMs with 2025 software. On one of the CMMs, when I pull up my picture of the part set up, it pulls up in paint rather than jpeg. It only happens on 1 of the 3. I don't know why but that's what is happening. Is there a setting somewhere within calypso software that is not set? Thanks for any suggestions

So this is a funny situation. It's not wrong but could lead to trouble. Datum C provides only clocking. All of the other 5 DOF are constrained. Datum C remember is NOT the hole itself. Its DFS will be a best fit pin mutually parallel to B and perpendicular to A. Whatever size that best fit pin is when constrained for orientation, its CL is the clocking datum. You could start this hole perfectly on position but if the drill walks and the hole isn't perpendicular to A, I suspect an evaluation of TP with C tertiary would yield different results than the same evaluation with no tertiary. It is possible to have the C feature machined OOT for TP using C as tertiary because DFS's have perfect form and orientation while your feature will not.

Circle3 and Circle9 were not measured at the same Y position. Therefore, they cannot be compared.
