Vast XTR define holder location.

[[Ch...]]

Ok team, who can help describe how to define an XTR holder location.

Working at a new site, the lack of instructions how to do this is absolutely atrocious. I've read thru manual, sensor cookbook, searched knowledge base.

 

Im thinking its similar to XXT touching off on a little flat area on the holder and adapter plate - however this picture prompt that comes us throws me for a curve, probe in the random middle of a random angled plane ?? sheeesh.

 

Thanks everyone !

I have an XTR, I think it ask you another question after that but I'm totally blanking now.  

 

I would test it out for you but I'm packing up and about to leave and don't want to screw something up on my Friday afternoon

We have the zeiss standard xtr holders

Hey Chris,

See pic below. Start with the top slanted plane.

Did you try probing the angled flat area?

Roy,

 

 you're a life saver bud,

 

omg Zeiss could not show a similar pic in any documentation - no words...

 

Question, is the flat area on opposite side used for anything? Do I ever need to touch off on adapter plate as instructions say..(lol) if so what part of adapter plate , just tried Roy's method and it works.

 

Thank you again everyone !

The touching off on the adapter plate is for determining the length of the MasterProbe. You probe a surface with the bottom side of the adapter plate, and probe the exact same surface with the sphere of the stylus - it then calculates the length of the MasterProbe.
