I recently started at a new place and when they shut the machine off every night and start up every morning. And for every program they start they do a calibration, but since they don't move the cal sphere they where always saying No on calibration. I have started to implement a Master Probe/Tip and have been working to get as many of the tips and angles to relate properly with the master.
I figured the best way to have this relation maintained was to use auto-calibration. But then I found that anything exceeding the Std Dev was not being flagged for re-calibration. I then found that Trevor McLaughlin over at http://www.cmmxyz.com/blog-cmm-tech-tips had a possible fix. Unfortunately it only seemed to work for the most recently calibrated tip and angle. The code below is my attempt to remedy this.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to refine this due to the number of tips and or angles potentially used in a program or if they see something that I completely missed.
