Recalibrating a Single Port

To recalibrate a single port, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Single port calibration option on the Calibrate tab in the Probe Changer dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Probe Changer). (If you did not complete a full calibration, the option is not available.)

  1. When you select the Single port calibration option, the Probe changer port list becomes available. Select the port that you want to calibrate. For example:

Probe Changer dialog box - Calibrate tab

  1. To begin the calibration, click Calibrate. A message prompts you to take a hit on the top left surface of the port that you selected:

PC-DMIS

The port has been previously calibrated.
If it has been moved since the last calibration
you must take a manual hit to locate it.
If it hasn't been moved you may be able to recalibrate
it in DCC mode without taking a manual hit.

Has the port been moved since the last calibration?

  1. Click No. The following message appears:

PC-DMIS Message

Remove any stylus holder from port 2.

After clicking OK, DCC motion will begin
for the rest of the measurement.

  1. Open the lid. To open the lid, push it all the way back.

  2. With the lid or lids open, remove the requested modules or styli by sliding them forward and out of the stylus holder.

  3. Click OK. The system goes into DCC mode to complete the measurement.
