Calibrating Probe-Offset
Recalibrating the offset of the probes includes
the Z-Offset (the height difference between the
two probes). Do this procedure each month and:
• after replacing probe tips
• after any repair on the PNP Head or probes
• if you are experiencing problems picking
devices, especially with probe two.
To recalibrate the offset, see the on-screen Help
for the Diagnostics –Alignment Window.
NOTE: Recalibration takes 5 to 7 minutes to
complete, a Calibration Tool, a 4 mm hex key
(Allen wrench), and a PIN (Personal Identi-
fication Number) to access the Diagnostics
Windows (after tapping the Tools button).
