Work with probe

Use QTdragon, premeasure your tools including your probe and its all included.. I use a height gauge offline.

I would like to stay at axis because I already made some own buttons, e.g. tool selection buttons.

 

Hi,

how does the "ERR pin processing" function work? I want to process the err contact

Try to start working with probe screen but pop out this error when try to start probe cycle. 

 

I have a minor problem with the probe screen 2.9, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have got the probe screen working fine, however I have this strange bug, that the Latching functionality is not working. What I mean by that is the measurement only happens in the search mode, and the following probing at lower speed is not happening. The measurement is taken during the first approach at Search speed. The same happens with the tool offset measurement.

While I was trying to debug this, I noticed that when I increase the Latch distance to, let's say, 10mm (5mm further than the XY Clearance), the probe will move to that location after the detection at Search speed, but then it will go back to the XY Clearance position at Search speed and then complete the measurement without doing the probing at Probing speed. 

I am hoping it is some silly setting I forgot to enable somewhere deep in the config file. 

Please help

I’m using the QTDragon_HD UI and Probe Basic with a 3D probe.  Hopefully this may lead you to the Ah ha moment.  All values are in inches.These are the settings I have in my .ini, .hal, and qtdragon_hd.pref files..ini file
