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.

Hello! I am new to METROTOM OS and CT Scanning. My background is in mainly CMM Programming. I have a quick question about what to expect for background (air) grayscale peaks in the METROTOM OS histogram. I am currently seeing 2 distinct peaks that are widely spread and my instinct is that there should be only a single peak representing the background on the detector. The system is a METROTOM 800 225 kV system, I have recently performed all calibrations through METROTOM OS (detector, geometry, and axis), and I ensured there is nothing between the emitter and detector that may be the cause of the second peak. I attached a photo of what I see in the histogram with no object in the beam path. Is this behavior normal? And if not, what has been/has to be done to correct this? Thank you for any assistance!

I am new to calypso i created a base alignment plane a line and a point on a fixture i want to move the cad file to the selected base alignment. Using Cad modification how do i do that. Am i in the right window to do or is that there is any mistake in the base alignment selected. the base alignment window: Or should i use any changes here in special window to align cad to the probed features: Thanks

During troubleshooting when running a part, sometimes I will normalize a vector and I have noticed that when doing that it makes the A1 and A2 angle for the 3D feature check a perfect zero. I was curious if that is all it is or if there is more to it? Similarly, whenever I open up a position from the characteristic menu, I see there is a letter "P" and a bent line icon next to it and I was wondering what is the exact purpose of those?

I have a program that is giving me trouble trying to use multiple strategies. Normally when I add a second strategy and select that strategy from the Run screen, it executes as expected. In this particular program no matter what strategy I select from the run screen the "***" strategy always runs for all features. Can other things determine which strategy gets used besides the selection at the run screen? Do other settings force the default strategy? I am a little stumped!

Hi DJ Yager, you can edit the creation parameters of the actual parts and select measuring data to polygonize with 'select inside cube' or other selection tools. Nanno

@Zak Stehlin Zak, from your post it appears that if Do not update is active, the qualification of the stylus systems is based on the last known Ref Sphere Position, right?.

@Wojciech Malig This was the issue. Now, the question is "do I need to requalify my probes"? I'm guessing the safest answer is yes.

@Derek Jester Care to elaborate on the details of a more accurate qualification method?

The best time to run my code (from an external PCM file) is something I have yet to figure out. I will probably just read the protocol name from that log and hope it wil already be updated at that time. But thinking about it, the best way to do it would be to retrieve the actual string written by Calypso to the log. That would also avoid possible errors if the configuration is changed in the future. Things from \config\env\values for example. How does one figure out all those queries in the first place? I'm clearly mssing something here although I know the basics.

What kind of settings do you have in mind?

Hello Norbert, the log always mirrors the state of the last run. But the file is only updated at the end of run. Meanwhile it contains the data of the last run. To be save you may delete it at start.

Is this a Inspect airfoil special function? Never used that modul, but there is a free training on youtube.

When creating a profile form and position analysis on an airfoil, the Zeiss software automatically assigns clockwise as the positive direction for rotation (twist) analysis, I cannot find anywhere why this is or see any option to change it. Can anyone tell me why clockwise is positive (looking down the Z- Axis)?

Quick, spontaneous reply for information purposes related or not. Calypso does have a cam evaluation with curve under the size menu. I've used it a few times for automotive cams over the years.

Hi Austin, Possibly the working areas are overlapping, so the sensors do not move at the same time. I would recommend to reach out to your local support with this to check the measuring setup. Nanno

Hi, i am working on implementation of DIN EN 10243-1 norm into Calypso, but everytime i do changes i have to turn off Calypso completely. Is this normal behaviour? Also if anyone knows how to implement different fractions to upper and lower tolerance? For radiuses it's 50% and 25% tolerance - i got only same fraction for both tolerances. Thanks

I think it will be perpendicularity to A using pattern

That circle is too short to obtain plausible result.
