Extract Reference Sphere Position for BA

[[To...]]

Is it possible to extract the last known reference sphere position data to be used for a base alignment for a probe verification program?

Thank you. I guess I should have specified "a simple solution.".....LOL It'll be quicker to do a manual alignment. 😃

I'm not sure you need this. My probe qualification program will go to the last known position to qualify master. I remove sphere, and always put back in the "same" location for qualification. It doesn't give you the option to change the orientation though.

I created a probe verification program (not a probe qualification program) that creates a base alignment from the sphere then verifies other stylus system. Sometimes, I go ahead and do reference sphere position in anticipation of having to re-qualify a stylus system. I thought if I could recall that location for the probe verification program, it would save me from having to do a manual alignment.

I suppose I might be able to add a base alignment to a probe qualification program that runs from the probe verification alignment though I typically don't use a base alignment in the qualification program.
