How to use masked points for measurement

[[Da...]]

I did not use any masking (intentionally)
manual masking of points is off but still have red arrows on my curve
its probably because the shape is totally differend like CAD model; sometimes Calypso cuts points witch are out of some reasonable results and its fine but this time its need of use them how can i do it ?

[[No...]]

There exist two settings for point masking at the beginning of a scan path. One is by time, the other by number of points.
They default to a certain value because scanning accuracy isn't optimal at the very beginning (head may still vibrate a bit).

so its like its off but its filtering anyway ?
hmm for example if i make longer patch then it may work ?
or i have mised some seting after all ?

Slow your scanning speed as much as reasonably possible.

I am using curves a lot, but never seen this 😱
I am not using masking points at beginning / end like features do ( ex. 2d line - 0,5s from start / end ) - i rather mask them manually.

[[Er...]]

I use point masking when scanning a line. I start scanning before where I want points taken and end after. Then manually mask the start and end. That method has given me better results in sheetmetal. Plus I can take one scan and customize it instead of modifying the scan a dozen times.

When the points are masked by the controller there is no normal way Calypso can use it for calculation. I'm guessing that in this case you are using a XXT head and the probe "jumps" over the unknown object in the scan path.

One way you can do it is to save the measured points in File -> Save measured points. Then you go to the file and change the extension from zmp to .zip. Now you can open the file and there you have all features stored in one file each. Copy the one you need to the desktop and open it in notepad. Somewhere you should see something like status. or something. Anything else than 0 means the point is masked. Change whatever it says to 0 and then save the file. Copy it back into the zip-file and the rename it back to zmp-extension. The load the files back into Calypso with file->Load measured points.

If the file only contains gibberish it is probably stored as binary. In that case you need to change the setting in calypso from binary to ascii. that setting should be in Extras -> Settings -> Environment. I have never used it so I'm not 100% sure but look around inside settings and you should find it.
