Re-calibration of probe

[[Dy...]]

I could not find any clear answer on this, If I replace a probe and have to re find the ref. sphere location with the master to calibrate that probe do I have to calibrate all other probes on my rack or can I just calibrate the one probe I replaced and the rest will compensate?

It depends....

Did you crash the machine? If yes, it's probably in your best interest to requalify all stylus/stylus systems. 

If you are just simply replacing a stylus due to wear or switching sizes/lengths, then most likely no.

 So nothing really saying you HAVE to do the others unless due to a machine crash.

Not that I'm aware of. 

You should always perform some sort of routine qualification, but that frequency if completely up to you, and your company (usually risk assessment is needed).

I, too, have been curious about this. I asked one of the application engineers during my advanced calypso training and they could not provide an answer at the time. 

In my experience with other CMM manufacturers and softwares, there is technically no true reference or correlation between styli unless they are qualified to the same instance of a master probe qualification. Like Richard Shoemaker stated above: there is little risk in just qualifying your single stylus and master again if there has not been a crash. The uncertainty in correlation between the styli will be likely less than a few microns.
