Travel Limits and Volumetric Compensation Areas

These areas specify the travel limits and volume compensation of your machine.

The service technician has already determined the best travel limits and volume compensation values for your system.

Only a trained service technician should run the stage calibration utility. The dialog box displays the date and time when the last stage calibration was performed.

Limits Enabled check box: This check box allows you to turn off the checking of the limits. The only time you would normally turn this check off is on certain systems when you are performing a stage calibration, and you need to work right to the limit of the stage travel. We do not recommend disabling this check box at any other time because it can help protect the hardware from being damaged when the hardware is moved outside its limits.

Calibrate: This button begins the stage calibration procedure. For stage calibration and certification, contact Hexagon Technical Support.

Unless directed by a trained technician, DO NOT alter these values.

The Calibration date field is the date when the Calibrate button was last used to generate a new or updated calibration file.

The Grid field shows the current data format version being used for the grid data in the hybrid volcomp. If you are using any lenses other than the lens used to collect the grid data used for the hybrid volcomp, the Grid field must indicate a comp grid version of 2 or higher. If it does not, contact Hexagon Technical Support.
