updates. If the probe passes, the current date
and time is added to the probe information.
You can view the details for all of the
compensations of a probe by clicking the
VIEW LOG button.
See “View Log” on
page 64.
Hole Method
Perform the Hole compensation using the
FARO probe compensation cone or a 5mm
diameter machine drilled hole. The hole does not
have to be exactly 5mm, but it must be smaller
than the probe’s diameter with a smooth seat. If
the G
UIDANCE
check box is clear for the current
probe, use the following steps. See “Edit Probe”
on page 55.
Collect all of the points in this method by
holding down the FRONT button. The Gage will
collect points as fast as possible (“scanning”)
until you release the FRONT button.
1 Place the ball probe in the hole. Start in a vertical position.
2 Press and hold the FRONT button. Sweep the handle down to one of the
horizontal positions. Be sure that the ball probe remains seated in the hole.
3 Release the FRONT button and repeat for each position.
