Probing system qualification Modes grayed out

[[Be...]]

The title says it all.  I am attempting to set up a re-qualification measurement plan and from our training manual, I am supposed to switch the Mode from Tensor to Geometry Re-qual.  Unfortunately, my only available options are Tensor, Dyn.tensor, and 6 Points.  Everything else is grayed out.

It has been awhile since I've created one but If you are creating a qualification program you would use this I believe.

I believe your mode by default will be what your last qualification you had set.

You might be able to change if you open the Probing system qualification characteristic.

 are you programming on an offline seat? With SSC or otherwise created "virtual" styli? Then this is normal (yet annoying) behavior.

You can select geometry requal. only if a probe already has real calibration data (from a real CMM) stored in the probe database. Why they block this option even in Planner is beyond me.

So if you're on Planner, you have to edit that option later on the physical CMM. If you're on the CMM, calibrate the stylus once manually.
