Calibrating a new star probe

[[Ti...]]

Good morning everyone, I have a new star probe that the shaft length is only 5mm long so of course I can not calibrate it going to 180 degrees of my sphere, I lowered the sphere coverage but the probe it still trying to calibrate at 180. What am I missing?

You can not use dynamic tensor - this will always do 180° coverage

So where can I change this?

When you are doing manual calibration, then in top middle there is combobox with Dyn. tensor. I think regular "Tensor" will do it. Otherwise there is 6 points.

If this is an XXT machine, you can't, you need a smaller sphere.

Sounds like you have an XXT sensor, which ALWAYS performs the scanning portion of the Passive qualification at 180°. The angle property only comes in to effect during the 6 points after the scanning portion. However, you've built the bending parameters on the full 180°. As Mike mentioned, a smaller diameter (8mm) reference sphere will be required.

In any case, you will need a small calibration ball with a diameter of 8mm.
I had the same problem and was only able to solve it this way
