Can't Reference the Ref. Sphere Position?

Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I had no problems.
Today...Problems.

What do these messages mean?
See image: Capture.jpg "No result"

Then the next message.
See image: Capture2.jpg "Your MasterProbe is invalid. Please first define the position of your high-precision reference sphere with the MasterProbe."

I wish Zeiss messages were descriptive so you could actually determine what is wrong.

FYI
Prior to this happening, I had finished qualifying 8 total probes.

I have noticed at every attempt to reference the Ref. Sphere and get the "No result" error message, it recalculates all the geometry for the Reference Sphere and places a check marked icon as if it was OK.

That is a rather peculiar master probe for an active head. I have only worked with the passive XXT probe head. Can anyone explain me the reasoning behind such an angled master probe?

I am reaching up under a part into holes and threaded holes.
These work well, even had them with upwards of 80mm reach in the +Z axis on a VAST XT (and Gold).

I think this is why I never trusted this thing. Lol.

It looks like you were in the #1 position, so that should have been 45° Inclination, and 45° Rotation.
