This section applies to PC-DMIS version 3.7 MR3 or later, and any CMM equipped with MEA correction and controller firmware versions as follows:
SMP3xx with firmware version 20.1 or later
or
SMP400 controller with firmware version 105.0 or later
This procedure applies only to SMP controllers as defined above. It does not apply to MP-35 controllers. The MEA correction data is still applied in MP-35 controllers. The previous method to calibrate probes should be followed.
If tips are calibrated or need to be calibrated at a position other than the MEA position, you must first use the MEA_CALIB_SPHERE tool to calibrate a Tip0 in PC-DMIS at the MEA position. You MUST calibrate this same "Tip0" at the new tool position. This process accurately establishes the position of the tool at the new location. You can then calibrate all other tips at the new tool position.
