Trying to qualify a Renishaw 14mm ceramic disk, DCC qual causes an error
***Solved: The probe file that Hexagon sent me had a serious error - The disk diameter was set to "0," so the machine tried to drive straight down into the qual-sphere. Also, as another user mentioned, I needed to set the degrees to +5 and -5 (this may vary slightly depending on diameter and thickness of the disk) and add a few more points. I ended up using 8 total distributed between the two levels near the equator. Be advised; the F1 Help file is NOT accurate regarding the disk probe qual settings. It is inaccurate and missing details about the degrees settings.***
I have the parameters set up with 5 points and 2 levels, just like PCDMIS instructs me to for disks. I take one point at the "north pole", top of sphere, and let DCC take over. It begins to take the 4 hits on the disk probe, but throws an error just before the 4th hit and says it couldn't find the point within the expected zone.
This is a probe that Hexagon modeled for me, even though it is a fairly normal probe. It was just not include in the built-in probe list, perhaps because it is Renishaw. They sent me a probebuilder.dat file which I pasted into the correct folder, and it shows up in the 3D preview window as I am creating my probe in the Probe Utilities dialog. Everything is fine until the DCC takes over to qualify it on my sphere.
