[[Sh...]]

Not sure what's going on but I'm seeing this when trying to use Result Element for probe info...PLS HELP

[[Ju...]]

What unit is that number? Nanometers?

Not sure, never seen it.

what happens if you put that same code in the pre or post settings of the program or feature?
or change the program to mm?
or change the result element from "Length" to "Number"?
or use the code to pull from a different probe?

Also, is it really "Master Probe"? all of mine are "MasterProbe"

That value is typical of an error in the PCM you are using.
Try this:
getProbe("MasterProbe","1").stdProbeDev/25.4

The above is the format we are using v2022.

Syntax error

getProbe("1","MasterProbe").stdProbeDev   

You have a space between "Master" and "Probe". This is invalid and the reason for the improper reporting value.

If you are ever unsure of your stylus reference formulas, change the stylus to active (simulation or CNC, doesn't matter) and use getProbe().`instance variable` but leave the ident/name area blank to query the active system.

getProbe().ident

or

getProbe().probeName

or

getProbe().probeIdent

= individual stylus name/number

getProbe().confName

= stylus system/configuration name

The rest of the syntax you have is correct.

getProbe("ident","confName").stdProbeDev

This syntax is invalid in all CALYPSO versions up through 2023 and will produce an error.

Thanks guys! Both suggestions from Jeff & Rich were the solutions. I hadn't done this in ages and the last time I remember doing it the Stylus System was first and then the Stylus was second. Deleting the space in between Master Probe worked as well.

When and why in the heck would they change those things?

Per the PCM code example it is Stylus Name first then Stylus System Name.

getProbe("1","MasterProbe").stdProbeDev 

getProbe("MasterProbe","1").stdProbeDev

Calypsos standard response for errors wneh not running CNC is 9999. 9999 mm is equal to 393.6614173 inch. In other words there is something wrong with the syntax.
If you were to run the program in CNC mode you would get an error message instead of 9999.
