Instruction manual for MH & MH+M

In order to determine the right point, each height H1 is recalculated according to H2 (which
corresponds to the centre of the ball-tip) and the radius R of the insert (defined when detecting the
probe constant).
11.3 Procedure
There are several processes to determine the probe constant. The TESA master piece design has
been thought to minimise the determination time and avoid any errors that could occur when moving
the master piece during a sequence.
The calibration procedure of the probe (or determination of the probe constant) requires at least two
probe contacts for each measurement point.
The difference between the two values obtained for each point cannot exceed a
maximum value that depends on the selected resolution. If it is higher than this
limit value, the difference is displayed. The user then has the choice to accept it
and bypass the process with
or to restart the process for a new measurement.
If the user accepts the result, the number of digits after the comma will be reduced
to be in line with the probe constant.
11.4 Steps
Each time the procedure for determining the probe constant is started, the above page is
automatically displayed.
If you are using a motorized height gauge, a warning message will be displayed.
Before activating the process for automatic determination of the probe constant,
the insert must be positioned at the height of the master piece. As this
displacement is done automatically, the following message will be displayed to
avoid any collision with another object:
