RST-T Temp Sensor

[[To...]]

We have a customer that routinely has measurement plans that take upwards to 5 hours to run. The cmm is in a temperature controlled environment but don't always have the luxury of letting the part get down to the ideal temperature. They're trying to find out if they can use the RST-T sensor to take a temperature reading at fixed intervals, i.e. every 20 minutes or so, and have the compensation adjust for the updated temperature. They've never used the sensor that came with their machine about 15 years ago.

I have not tried this, could you run the part at the current temperature and after it is complete run a Subsequent Evaluation with a manually input temperature?

I don't see how that will work. The temp is changing as the part is checked. So, one location is measured at a given temp , the next at a different temp, and so on. Then assigning a general temp would not account for the intermediate shift between locations because the actual readings will have moved. Does that make sense ?
