Calibration

If I were to calibrate a probe with a setting for Sensitive or Robust for an RDS head, do I have to re-reference/calibrate the MasterProbe as Sensitive or Robust as well?

Do you mind me asking why? I've use XXT sensors for over 10 years and have no reason to not use "standard" except as needed for small probes or less stable probes.

I keep my Master at standard and just use what is needed for the rest of the probes. The only ones i really use sensitive is some of the really long probes on the O-Inspect.

I don't have an accurate answer for that,
We were developing scannings since ever with active sensors (Prismos in Lab and Gagemax in shopfloor), no significant problems between machines.
Then because advantages in cost and space, I installed in 2014 couple Duramax in shop floor using a program developed in a Prismo with VAST sensor..

Was my first experience with Vast XXT and the results were not the expected, after some time we achieve acceptable results without the need to use different programs.

Not sure exactly how much this contributes but at that time we noticed a better performance using sensitive calibration, and reading the Calypso documentation we found that was recommendable for high precision, slow speed and small stylus diameters; In that case we were evaluating some distances (+/- 0.015 mm) extracted from curves.

In the case of DuraMax and O-Inspect machines, I'm not as certain on the sensitive vs standard being the main issue. Most of it stems from the probing dynamics. The mechanical machines tend to need to be ran in to 20-30% range.

If you are working with probes smaller than 0.5mm then 10-15% is recomennded.
