How to set distance probe move off surface after probing
When using a probe for part setup, I want the probe to move off the surface after a successful probe. The probe first does a fast probe, backs off 1mm and does a successful slow probe. I press F10 to accept the probed value. This all works, but after the slow probe the probe does not moves off from ...

Re: How to connect a TouchProbe and a ToolSetter at the same time
One more question: in the wizard which input type did you choose as ProbeTripped, the renishaw or the TT, and what input type did you choose for the other?

Re: How to connect a TouchPlate and a ToolSetter at the same time
Hi Muzzer, Very interesting blog! At this moment: is your renishaw probe also hard wired conneceted? I had both the tool setter and the probe hardwired working, but I think it is far handier to have the probe to be removable. I tried so many different settings to have the probe detect working, but I...

Re: How to connect a TouchPlate and a ToolSetter at the same time
@Muzzer, I changed the connection of my probe, to also use probe detect, but leave the tool setter permanently connected. Whatever settings I make, I cannot make it work. I used the settings provided by centroid-tech, but every time I think it works... it does not. I give up using probe detect for t...

Re: How to connect a TouchPlate and a ToolSetter at the same time
I just re-tried the touch plate and probe, and confirm it is absolutely working. Let me give some additional info what I had to do to get everything working. I connected a XHC DT02 (el cheapo) wireless touchplate/toolsetter to INPUT-5 and an available COM connection. The touch plate is a NO switch. ...

Re: How to connect a TouchPlate and a ToolSetter at the same time
Hi Muzzer, Check the report file I attached to my previous post. In the zip file, all parameter settings are in the file cncm.prm.xml. I know this is not the latest report, but at this moment I am not at home so I have no access to the PC to create a new report. The only change I made is in paramete...

Re: How to connect a TouchPlate and a ToolSetter at the same time
Can anybody inform me the parameters to configure?
I understand it will be added to the Wizard in a future release, but I would like to finalize my setup. This is one of the last issues I have, then my change to Centroid is complete.

Re: How to connect a TouchPlate and a ToolSetter at the same time
Great to hear it will be added to the Wizard. I realy appreciate the perfect support on the forum. I use input 5 for the tool setter, in the Wizard I configured it as probe. I have inputs 7+8 un-assigned. I checked the manual again to see which additional parameters to set to also connect the probe,...

How to connect a TouchProbe and a ToolSetter at the same time
I am using a touch plate on a fixed position (G30 P4) to do automatic measuring of tool length offstets. I use the XHC DT02 Wireless Toolsetter, it uses a NO switch. This works perfectly. I have the Digitizing Bundle license, so I also want to start using a touch probe to do the part setup, and doin...
