Programmer Needed! 110k per year!

Ha!! Figured i could get you to look at my post with that shnazzy title.

I actually am having some tip calibration problems:

I have two probes that dont seem to communicate. a 2x40 and a 6x30.
I calibrate the 2mm tip first: just the AOBO angle. Then I calibrate the 6mm AOBO.
All this without moving my sphere; which is 0,0,1 by the way.

I then measure the sphere with 2mm tip> align x,y,z origin> measure with the 6mm tip & report x,y,z location.

X=.987mm
Y=2.600mm
Z=.150 mm

Why the disconnect? Any help would be appreciated.
My company wouldnt renew our SMA So i am screwed!!!

Not Funny !

Nice one Spaz! I think first I would make sure my tips were not bent or loose. Then I would verify the tip buildup for each one and maybe even delete and recreate. I do hope all these measurements are DCC and you do have other tips that do correlate. For example will a 3x40 agree with the 2x40? Will it agree with the 6x30? Are you using a tp20 or tp200? Have you tried switching modules? Thinking as I type this I would switch modules for one tip and retry then switch for the other tip and retry. I am now strongly suspecting a module going south, and not for the groovy grits. HTH

im sure you would have got a few looks and some good replys without the schnazzie title, oh wait all the gurus left, lol.

Actually, some have stuck around. All will return.

I started to skip the post because of that lousy salary. I wouldn't want to take a pay cut and lose all of my current benefits...

From rumors that abound in our area, there is one local company that has programmers making that kind of money with a LITTLE OT through the year. The company pays in excess of $25-30/hour for senior programmers.

Are you answering NO to the question about the tool location when calibrating the 2nd probe?

[Per_Birklykke]

Yes it can be done - you just have to pay 110K ;-] SMILE

That's what it sounds like to me. I had an operator here do that a few times.

probe relationship

as i understand it, you should calibrate your master probe, when prompted say the sphere has moved whether it did or not, then calibrate probe A and when prompted say the sphere has not moved, then calibrate probe B and when prompted say the sphere still has not moved. this should relate probe A to the master probe and probe B to the master probe thus relating probe A to B. hope it helps. mike.

What is a "master probe"?

[rangerboat72]

It's actually not a master probe, just the first probe you choose to calibrate.

Ya know, I really want to reply to this 'master probe' thing, but......I.......must...........resist............ .......temptation!
