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 ...

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?

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...

@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...

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. ...

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...

Again perfect support :) Anybody who is interested to also configure a touch plate (NO) and a Probe (NC), I have setup the following: The touch plate is connected to input 5, in the wizard I selected 'probe' function. The probe is connected to input 7, in the wizard I selected 'not used' function, b...

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.

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,...

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...
