For TP i would suggest Geometry norm. For that distance - there can be many ways: line from centers of those two circles - then intersection line/circle with mode: curve section - then two touch point ( disc ) on selection and projected on section instead of mesh

Not actual part, just image off the web. Cannot show print. 1) Drawing has a true position of the small diameter, I created a cylinder and when I generate the Position it shows a 7mm deviation in the results. The cylinder diameter and X.Y location are less than 50 microns off. 2) How to get the radius to radius dimension? (blue arrow) Thanks

I can try it out on 2025 tomorrow. What are conditions for selection?

Automotive and sheetmetal could always create their planes used for sectioning using no measuring principle or As Actual, then section cuts could always be Reference geometry. I know of 3 programmers that made this mistake and this poster was on that road. And I still believe all section cuts should get alignments automatically...if some industry wants it otherwise then allow for a user preference toggle. Yea, yea, I know how to set us custom principles, but so do other industry programmers. Ill probably add this request to my voice.

Yall may have misunderstood me. Let's assume you have 10 programs that are all identical except they are different parts numbers....now the customer changes the tolerances. You can open all 10 programs and change the tolerances 1 by 1, or you can record yourself doing it once, then loop thru all programs and save them. When you record a tolerance change for a diameter or distance it works when you play the script, But if you record and run a tolerance change on a profile or position check it won't change it at all.

Oh, I see. I was using Recall, Not Recall Feature Points. Thanks!

I haven't thought about posting any. I have deleted more than I can recall from other forums.

@Richard Stanich, make more videos about Calypso programming. Youtube or other platform perhaps?

recalled the measured points into a circle and set the evaluation of the circle to outer tangential

tangential circle?

I would recall measured points into tangential circle. Otherwise make intersections with circles to get quadrant and recall circle from 4 points

Im pretty sure I have done this before, but I am not recalling how. I have a part with four radii, 45° spacing on a Ø6.62 periphery of the radii. Creating a BC from the center of each radii, easy-peasy. How do I get the periphery diameter?

Short video of my Master Sphere setup. 1 thru 5 are all 30mm Master Spheres, 6 is an 8mm Master Sphere. Each one you create can be assigned an orientation (Inclination Angle, Rotation Angle), as seen in the short video. From this, if I have Master Spheres 1 thru 4 setup on the CMM and a Star probe with 4 tips (-X, +X, -Y, +Y) I can assign each stylus tip to a specific Master Probe by its Number assignment. When you run an Automatic Qualification, the built-in routine will run each stylus tip to its respectively assigned Master Sphere when you manually qualified each tip. Clearance Distance is established for each individual Master Sphere in the "Clearance Distance dialog". In my case, the Clearance Distance is the same for all Master Spheres. Master Spheres.mp4

Sphere coverage would be for scanning ref. sphere - but tensor is ignoring that number and is doing 180° anyways. I am not sure about taper angle - once i am doing aquisition of ref. sphere, then i am setting up some angles.

I have another question, I believe i don't understand the "Sphere coverage" and "Taper angle" for the probes when qualifying against the reference sphere. Based on my understanding, a "180" sphere coverage would mean the probe covers half of the reference sphere right? Yet i have a probe that physically could not reach below my current reference sphere (its a probe facing to the left, pretty small ruby and the shaft is facing upward really close to the ruby.) yet the sphere coverage for that probe is also set to 180. Am i not understanding "Sphere coverage" and "Taper angle" correctly? I can take photos if it would help you all to understand

Do you need to measure the size? Or can you do a self centering point?

When we turn on ATOS, then it projects it's IP - this is what we have at hardware setup.

I tried and it doesn't work, the connection is enabled, I have all the IPs, and the sensor's IP has restrictions because of the internal network here, and that's the problem, but it worked before. Thanks for the reply!

just to clarify a couple points. You will not lose access to your already licensed versions of CALYPSO. the licensing for your CALYPSO 2019 will not go away. if you want to upgrade from 2019 to 2021, please reach out to the software support team at 800 327 9735 or email cic.metrology.us@zeiss.com with your serial number and the request for a 2021 license and we can provide that for you.

I think we have there actual IP address displayed from device. You can try to reboot ATOS. We also had a problem with loose connection.

Good day everyone, An absolutely baffling thing happened yesterday evening, and I would really appreciate your help. The part shown in the pictures simply fell out of the probe head. Under a microscope, it is clear that the part is not broken; it is completely intact. What makes this really strange is that the machine is still measuring perfectly. It calibrates without any issues, measures the reference standard values correctly, and the part doesn't visually seem to be missing from anywhere—yet I am still worried. Could you please help me identify this part? CMM (Measuring machine): O-Inspect 322 Sensor: Zeiss VAST XXT

I was just testing while @Richard Stanich posted. Example: run powershell script with PCM: $filepathvar = $PSScriptRoot ('Curuser="{0}"' -f $env:USERNAME) | Out-File "$filepathvar\input2.para" -Encoding UTF8 in Calypso: readPCMFile(input2.para) setRecordHead("Curusertest",Curuser)' modify PiWeb report.

Yes that is probably what I will end up doing, i believe i have it figured out to where all my probes "should" qualify without crashing into the other sphere but i can only wait and get it done whenever out 8mm sphere comes in (which i absolutely will be running slowly and monitor). Thank you very much This is something I haven't really considered yet, could i write my qualification program to check the location of both spheres at the beginning of the program automatically? Or would that need to be done before by using the "reference sphere position" in the probe management menu first. I saw on a work instruction I found that you can put a "qualification" characteristic for the master probe and it will check the reference sphere position, but to only do this if you can put the reference sphere stand in the same spot/rotation which I can do. If not its no big deal its just something I'm curious about, thank you all for your help!

When I use the following setting – Flush direction: Side 1 → Normal direction of the reference element – I obtain the same result as the automatic calculation, but with the opposite sign compared to what I am used to. At least the value is now understandable and traceable. Is there any detailed documentation available for the VMB app that describes the calculation logic and the underlying settings? I would like to gain a better understanding of these evaluations and be able to trace the calculation methods used. Thanks.
