sphere dia for probe calibration

[joes64]

using version 4.1 , where in the menus do i find the sphere dia for calibrating the probe . the ball is .750 but if i measure it i get reading of .748 ???

I'm confused. Are you looking for the measured results in the calibration? If so, click on the results button (see below).

If you're looking to change the diameter of the calibration sphere, go to Measure, then EDIT your tool (see below)...

I'm in METRIC rather than ENGLISH, but like TMiller said, it's at the bottom of EDIT TOOL.

Before you go changing your sphere diameter...

.748 was measured with the cmm? Double check that with a micrometer. I'm going to guess that the mic. will show .750.

Good point Gooluck. What is the "calibrated" diameter of your calibration sphere? That is the diameter you should be using.

yip got it sorted .... many thanks . someone had changed the sphere dia to .748 .I have put the calibrated dia back in again of .75005
