motion error

[kpaver]

Just starting out with pc-dmis. trying to cailbrate probe, but after first manaul hit I get a motion error. Motion error reads as a 0.50 error. The zero behind the five looks more like a square than a (0). What does this mean?

Thanks

You didn't tell us much about your system, what interface, what version PC-DMIS? probe type? etc.

This sounds like it is having a problem with communications of some sort. Do you ahve a rotary table? a toolchanger? is the CMM on COM1? What other devices are connected to your PC? Did this ever work for you?
