Looking for a copy of Calypso 6.6. I bought a machine with Calypso 2016 on it and want to upgrade to 2018. I have a license for it since I upgraded to 2025 recently. My flash drive that 6.6 came on is corrupted and I want to load it on a new computer. The portal only goes back to the 2020 version. Anyone?

Hallo, im GEAR PRO Launcher:

Thanks Martin, but I ended up recalling the points to a copy of the FF and masking the area by placing four selection boxes around it. Very clumsy method, but it worked.

Since i have done similar things and FF does not allow masking points i would go with that curve option. For correct creation of a curve you have to have no measured points on recalled feature. So either remove measured data from feature or just copy it and do recalled curve from that copy. Now check vectors or invert them and recall measured data into it. Do masking in evaluation tab and use that copied ff to recall filtered measured points from curve. Perhaps this easy way should be sufficient. If i need to have correct curve, then i do next steps: after recalculating first curve - it will create it's spline go to element creation window and switch to 2nd window from selection select "From curve" and select that spline - it will allow you to control distance of points along curve's spline and also exactly on CAD model. This is needed when you have bigger distance of points in curve and spline is not following curvature of a model ( air scanning ) If you need i can make some screenshots

The surface looks like this. The area I need to exclude is marked in green on the top. The stylus in the image is 1.5 mm. The strategy consists of 5 point sets. I can not use a smaller tip radius, otherwise I couldn't reach the points in the top left corner. Probe change is not an option for now (only the last resort if everything else fails)

Never seen "HEX" in a drawing or standard as a defined term. There should be the appropriate standards mentioned on the drawing, that tell you how to interpret this. Otherwise what martin said.

Guys that was tricky one. Thank you for this post. I had same issue. Maybe some potentional point for update of Calypso design.

First of all. Profile callout value is doubled the worst deviation point. Is your nominal in Y for the cylinder correct? Drawings states [51.30] yet you have nominal cylinder at 51.35. Also you don't see dimension [4.80] For this callout is whole tolerance into material.

Hi, I'm Gustavo. Could you guide me on how to correctly measure this tolerance? The radius and distance to datum B are within tolerance, but the surface profile tolerance is way out.

Had this happen when the hole is small, relative to probe, and out of expected position.

Hi @Jacob G.. We use two 3-bay MSR's (626100-9382-002) on our O-Inspect 543. This works fairly well.

Is there a loose/damaged component? The low form error is confusing, though. Does it have something to do with the fact that it's labeled a cylinder but has the circle symbol in the feature window? Seems like there was some tinkering with that feature at some point. I agree with the previous replies about shanking and burrs but I'd think the form error would be higher, even with filtering. I've seen something similar to that caused by a cracked (off brand) carbon fiber extension. The crack was causing the extension to flex more one way than the other and the result was similar to what you have pictured.

We recently purchased a O-Inspect 543 and want to duplicate stylus systems like what we have on an existing O-Inspect 322, but it looks like the largest MSR available on the 543 only has space for 3 styli. The MSR 5+1 (626100-9382-021) will not clear the uprights on the machine so I know that isn't an option. Has anyone else experimented with setting up multiple MSRs on the system? Thank you for your help

Well i am using that for removal of fixture from mesh. In program i am importing cad model and assigning it as a fixture. Then i am selecting used fixture in Aquisition menu. Now fixture model is exactly where ref points is telling ( according to refxml definition ) I believe after scan and background removal you normally polygonize. Then you go to selection by mesh - select fixture and define far away from model you will select on mesh. Now press Ctrl+Delete to remove selected mesh.

Seems the 2017 version i am running does not have that edit initial alignment option. I was able to delete all the previous alignments and access the LBF by reference points. I got some questions 1. How does GOM understand how to use the imported refXML for polygonization? My understanding of photogrammetry is that this will increase accuracy of transformations 2. The REFXML doesnt come into effect until the scan gets done and it then aligns the imported point cloud to the newly scanned fixture, how does this improve scan parameters? once the ref points are aligned, do the imported nominals readjust the newly scanned ref points? 3. only way to confirm that photogrammetry is working is to do a type 2 or type 1? Just trying to wrap my head around the whole process. Thank you

I've seen calypso make some pretty funny shapes when a hole is so far from where it should be. Looking at your X and Z.

This should be possible with PCM in your program presetting. I have not tested this, but here is some rough code that should help you get started. You can add more if/then legs to be more specific. MiniPlan=getRunID() If MiniPlan= *your miniplan name* setProtocolOutput(*appropriate Syntax*) else set ProtocolOutput(*appropriate Syntax*) endif

I think you can not. But if you make a 3d curve from FF path, then you can recall measured points into a curve and now you can mask and evaluate. But to be sure we would need to know how FF looks like and it's points/path. With points far away and big curvature you can have wrong evaluation. Also i just wonder - you could possibly recall filtered points from curve back into a FF

I don't know how to correctly measure this, but you can make sections to get hexagon and evaluate that. Or measure distance of two opposing planes via symmetry plane and GD&T

Try taking discrete points... maybe a dozen or so?

@Tom Oakes something is masking out points. its set to 1048 points but only 462 are used for the evaluation.

No mag. No filters or outliers. Not sure why scanning 750 degrees. LSQ. Haven’t checked mask settings.

@Tom OakesI'm with you, what's up with the good form value? Looks heavily filtered. I'd look at the unfiltered data and check difference been min circumscribed and max inscribed.

Do you have Magnification for the feature on?

The thing that puzzles me is the low form value.
