RDS-CAA L-Probe

[[To...]]

Has anyone been successful creating and qualifying an single CAA L-Probe? Describe the stylus config, ref sphere position, etc.

Yes. A lot of work. Not worth it in my opinion.

In my testing, it required me to start with a normal -Z facing probe, run the CAA qualification, then you can add the L tip, and run the qualification of the new tip. The new tip doesn't require all 12 positions, so it's easier to achieve. You might end up having to remove your -Z facing probe though as it's hard to dodge the reference sphere.

I didn't really document all of my steps, and it was a couple of years ago, but as much time as I spent trying to make it work, it would have just been faster for me to add the probe rotations.
