[Ia...] Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 When I click on "Release stylus system" it gives me a 5 second rundown. After 5 Seconds I hear a click. No matter how hard I pull after that click, the stylus will not release. Calypso still recognizes the active stylus. Can someone please tell me how I'm being dumb? Just read a note in the manual "The RDS adapter plate is locked. To remove it, press the push-button on the adapter plate." I don't see a push button?

[Cl...] Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Are you depressing the black plastic spring loaded button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[sh...] Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Try and release using the controller. You will need someone to grab the probe once you do the button sequence for releasing, as it doesnt countdown at all when those 3 buttons are used.

[Ia...] Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Clark, are you talking about the button close to "A" in the pic below? I tried pressing that in and it didn't do anything. Shane, in that order and hold them down? It seems to just bring up a menu when I do that combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Yes, it's on the X+ side. (when @ A=0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ia...] Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Sorry, I'm definitely using the wrong phrasing here. I don't want to remove the entire XXT Probe, I just want to remove the stylus system. My bad, I'll update the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Just pull it off. It's only held on by a small magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ia...] Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Without prompting anything in Calypso first? It seems to really not want to detach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ia...] Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 You were right. I just had to gather my balls and pull, came right off. Thanks for the help. The reason I did this is because we moved our stylus system holder, and I couldn't grab the master probe. I have now defined the holder (within the "cnc stylus system change) for where the master probe should go. It goes exactly where it should, but it doesn't release the stylus inside the holder. It just raises up in the Z with the stylus still attached. Ever experience this? Today is not my day. Edit: Determined that it's positioned too high in the Z to drop off. So I must be determining my stylus length incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Wi...] Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Just pull it off by hand... and put it back the same way. You dont have to do a pickup with RDS-XXT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
