The MasterProbe will have to be of type RDS-CAA in order to proceed with RDS-CAA qualification

RDS-CAA Primer 2

Page 3: RDS-CAA Qualification and Programming Primer RDS-CAA Primer1.

If MasterProbe is not already of type RDS-CAA, drop down the “Mode” menu, choose “CFS qualification,” and proceed with locating Reference

Sphere Position

RDS-CAA Primer 3

If MasterProbe is already of type RDS-CAA, select “Ref. Sphere position” and follow prompts. NOTE: If not already in A=0, B=0, be sure to drive the RDS clear of all obstacles.

When qualifying RDS-CAA, it is recommended that the Reference Sphere is oriented vertically. Unscrew the reference sphere from rotating plate, loosen rotating plate and rotate 180 and

reattach the reference sphere to the top threaded hole.

Page 6: RDS-CAA Qualification and Programming Primer RDS-CAA Primer1.

Be sure that the “Tilt” is set correctly. If the Reference Sphere is oriented vertically, “Tilt” should be set to 180. It does not matter what the Rotation angle is set to. Take the first

point in the direction of the stylus, as always.

After setting the Reference Sphere position, it is necessary to set the Fitting Position of the MasterProbe. In this process, the MasterProbe will

automatically find the Reference Sphere position in all 12 orientations.

The progress of the Fitting Position is posted in the window. Status will indicate an OK status unless there has been a collision. Check that the Standard Deviation for

MasterProbe is acceptable.

To create a new stylus system, attach the stylus system, select “Pick Up Stylus System.”

RDS-CAA Primer 9

Page 10: RDS-CAA Qualification and Programming Primer RDS-CAA Primer1.

Choose “New”

RDS-CAA Primer 10

Check the Probe type (RST, XXT TL3)NOTE: XXT types TL1 and TL2 are not compatible with RDS-CAA qualification.

RDS-CAA Primer 11

Page 12: RDS-CAA Qualification and Programming Primer RDS-CAA Primer1.

Enter the NAME and STYLUS NAME “1”. Check box for RDS-CAAFor qualification of individual positions, the box must remain unchecked.

This is the only place where qualification type (normal or RDS-CAA) may be set

RDS-CAA Primer 12

Select “Qualify stylus.” NOTE: If not already in A=0, B=0, be sure to drive the RDS clear of all obstacles. Take point in the direction of stylus shaft. Qualification of all 12 positions

will be automatic.

To add a new stylus, select the “Add New Stylus” buttonEnter Name “2.”

RDS-CAA Primer 15

In the window, select each position, choosing “Show” for each. Be sure head is free for rotation.

RDS-CAA Primer 17

If any position is not able to be qualified, choose “Alternative.” Click “Show” for the new angle.

Once the Stylus System has been qualified with RDS-CAA, it may be used in measurement programs.

RDS-CAA Primer 21

Page 22: RDS-CAA Qualification and Programming Primer RDS-CAA Primer1.

Create the measurement program as usual.

In The Features Settings Editor, navigate to Stylus System.

RDS-CAA Primer 23

Page 24: RDS-CAA Qualification and Programming Primer RDS-CAA Primer1.

If not already assigned, select features and “Set to” the desired Stylus system.

RDS-CAA Primer 24

Page 25: RDS-CAA Qualification and Programming Primer RDS-CAA Primer1.

If not already assigned, select features and “Set To” desired Stylus (“1” or “2”).

RDS-CAA Primer 25

In the new menu, “RDS Angles” it is possible to set the angle for each feature, however this method is rather tedious and fraught with errors.

RDS-CAA Primer 26

Page 27: RDS-CAA Qualification and Programming Primer RDS-CAA Primer1.

Instead, go to the Stylus Rotation window.

A CAD representation of the head, probe, and stylus appears. The current position is listed under “New Angle Position”

A=0, B=0 indicates a “down” position.

Angle Cheat Sheet

A=-908, B=908 indicates a “back” orientation

A=08, B=908 indicates a “right” orientation

A=-908, B=-908 indicates a “front” orientation

A=08, B=-908 indicates a “left” orientation
