[Ch...] Posted Friday at 05:25 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:25 PM 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted Friday at 05:31 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:31 PM 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted Friday at 05:33 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:33 PM (edited) i try probing the flat area and it starts probing 3 points in a weird manner then says failed... We have the zeiss standard xtr holders Edited Friday at 05:33 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted Friday at 05:34 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:34 PM (edited) Hey Chris, See pic below. Start with the top slanted plane. Edited Friday at 05:36 PM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Du...] Posted Friday at 05:34 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:34 PM maybe this would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted Friday at 05:34 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:34 PM Did you try probing the angled flat area? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted Friday at 05:36 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:36 PM (edited) 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 !

[Ri...] Posted Friday at 06:18 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:18 PM 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted yesterday at 11:53 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:53 AM Please sign in to view this quote. Probe a single point on the top angled plane. This will start the automatic process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted yesterday at 04:48 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 04:48 PM scratching my head a bit on how touching off an angled surface properly sets an accurate 'Z' height for plate to slide in and out accurately... oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Please sign in to view this quote. You touch a single point and then the system automatically probes points. It starts with three points on the angled surface, then a point in the -Y axis and another in the -X axis for each probe holder. The angled plane can now create intersections based on the other two points; each separate point can be theoretically a plane. This combined can create an intersection of the corner of the probe holder which can be translated to the center of the probe holder. (My best theory).
