MasterProbe setup in Planner

[[Ri...]]

I don't know how this happens, but it happens a lot.
Somehow, the MasterProbe axis get mixed up.
I had Zeiss setup the laptop with Planner so I had reliable visual and geometric relationships for collisions.
After I had to re-create machine tabs, this happens.
See image.
How do I fix it without deleting the tabs?

Please refer to the ZEISS PORTAL KNOWLEDGE BASE

When you create a MasterProbe in Stylus System Creator, it always has a R0.0 Stylus tip (VAST and RDS XXT TL3)
Problem with the Knowledge Base information, it doesn't seem to apply correctly. And there is no information for VAST heads (Which also uses a R0.0 stylus). Adjusting the R value and I can get the VAST head to appear OK.

The Z values are wrong for RDS XXT TL3.
When I use what the PDF file generates (188.102), Z axis appears to be OK. KB is "192.889", which is quite a bit off.
With Z at 188.102.
Z axis appears to be OK.
Y axis appears to be OK.
X axis is hard to tell because the viewing aspect ratio is off (Sphere looks like an egg).
Adjusting the R value helps.

This is what we deal with...
At Z Down (A0B0). See image: Capture Z down.JPG

At A0B90. See image: Capture A0B90.JPG

As long as the probe is A0B0, its all ok. Once you articulate it in any angle... 🙄

Rick, Have you tried running through the reference sphere position or stylus qualification. Many years ago, I recall have a similar issue that went away after performing the qualification sequence.

I have completed all that, including a "Fitting" with the MasterProbe.
Everything comes up "OK".
I viewed the qualifications (CAA) and the X, Y, Z and angles are all correct.
