Step 5: Performing a DCC Calibration

DCC Calibration of SPHERE3 Using Arm 1

Continue the calibration in DCC mode for arm 1 measuring SPHERE3. This is the center sphere on the calibration fixture.

1. Swap out the 15 mm tip on the Arm 1 extension with the TP2 tip.

2. In the Measure Probe dialog box (Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe | Measure button) for the PROBEALL probe, choose DCC.

3. In the List of available tools, choose SPHERE3.

4. Click Measure.

5. When PC-DMIS asks if the qualification tool has moved or the machine zero point has changed, click Yes.
