Hi...
Just got my TP-100 Probe in today... seems to work great, but I have a few questions.
1. Max Grid Increment setting... what is the definition of this setting. For example, if I set it to .01 if give me a point ever .01 of an inch. But my question is, if it is set to say 1 inch for example, I assume it will put a point every inch regardless of a point being hit? Or if hits a point between 0 and 1 inch it will record that point? What is the recommended approach with this setting? Does it depend on Object size? I asking before experimenting so I don't destroy the probe in the process...
2. Probe Ball Diameter... mine is .076... what is this parameter doing? I assume this compensates?
3. Probe Rate must rely on something else... probing seems slow any way you shake it... any suggestions or recommended settings?
4. Maximum Z height for stuck probe... what is this for, and more importantly, what is the definition of a stuck probe?
I have scanned, and the point cloud shows up in MachCloud, but I have had no luck in meshing the cloud to output to a .STL. I can Mesh the "Prop" example, so I know I'm doing it right... but there must be some minimum point cloud settings I'm missing.
Thanks for any Advice.
Rich.
