Pre-installation notes

Pre-installation notes

Note
Be sure to observe the following notes before installing this software!

Requirements for upgrading to CALYPSO

2021
CALYPSO 6.0 or higher and Windows 10 are required to upgrade to CA-
LYPSO 2021. Upgrading from versions older than CALYPSO 6.0 or oper-
ating systems older than Windows 10 may cause problems due to
changed path settings or new licensing procedures. In such cases, sub-
sequent adjustments of system and program settings may be necessary.

1-2 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 Information on use

Information on use

Optimization of the bore pattern best fit

The use of a second cylinder as a reference for the bore pattern best fit
can lead to deviations that are greater than expected. The use of a circle
avoids this problem.

Better results for curve best fit

From this version, the curve best fit based on nominal values frequently
leads to better results.

FOSS list available

The FOSS list can be opened via ? " About... " Show FOSS.

Morphological filter does not work properly

with freeform surfaces
The use of morphological filters does not work properly with freeform
surfaces We recommend not using this filter for the time being.

Autofocus times optimized

The calculation algorithm has been optimized to further reduce the aut-
ofocus times and increase its reproducibility and accuracy. When using
an autofocus system, very critical ambient conditions or other unfavor-
able conditions can cause the system to abort because sensitivity has in-
creased..
In this case, please contact our support team.

Difference to older CALYPSO versions

regarding the identification of invalid
measurement points in the freeform surface
During the identification of invalid measurement points in the freeform
surface, an error is eliminated. The number of invalid measurement
points can vary compared to older CALYPSO versions.

CALYPSO 7.2.16 1-3

Information on use

False color display of the point sets between

PiWeb and CALYPSO harmonized
The false color display of the point sets between PiWeb and CALYPSO
has been harmonized.

Files that are not part of a versioned

measurement plan are kept
If a versioned measurement plan is opened, files and directories that are
not part of the versioned measurement plan are no longer deleted.

CAD report settings in the compatibility

settings
In the compatibility settings under CAD Report: Quality vs. Speed,
you can select if the CAD report will be created in detail or quickly.

Image acquisition feature not available on O-

DETECT
The image acquisition feature is currently not supported on O-DETECT.

Projection of points on freeform surfaces

enhanced
The projection of points on freeform surfaces has been enhanced. This
can lead to deviations in the measurement results.

Minimum firmware versions for O-INSPECT

changed
It has been determined that the OI322, OI543 and OI863 coordinate
measuring machines with a C99L or C99L2 controller will not require a
higher firmware version with CALYPSO 7.4. The corresponding notice
has therefore been removed from the list.

Pre-alignment to correct the stylus radius for

curve best fit in the tolerance band
Pre-alignment of the stylus radius correction has been added to
the Best fit in the tolerance band function for a 2D curve.

1-4 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 Information on use

Length of file names and file paths

When saving a measurement plan, the specified file name, including
path, must not be longer than 256 characters.

Optimal interaction between CALYPSO and

the hardware
To fully utilize the potential of CALYPSO and the hardware, you should
use original ZEISS accessories. This is the only way to ensure that the
given specifications can be met.

CALYPSO pcm option - Selection in the

Formula dialog box
Measurement runs are parameterizable with the CALYPSO pcm option.
The scope of the PCM functions and PCM commands is described in the
operating instructions for the option. Pressing the Function button
opens the PCM function list and the PCM parameter list as a selection
guide for PCM commands. The prerequisite for programming and run-
ning measurement plans which contain PCM commands is the CALYPSO

CALYPSO 7.2.16 1-5

Information on use

pcm option. The formula always can be called via the Nominal value
and Actual value buttons. The CALYPSO pcm option is not required for
this purpose.

PiWeb reporting database still available only

in DFS format (*.dfs)
The PiWeb reporting database format was converted to the DFS format
as of CALYPSO 2020. CALYPSO 2021 only supports this new format.
Older databases must be converted one time.

Advantage of the new DFS database:

– Faster reading of values from the the database.
– Faster writing of values to the database.
– Maximum of 1000 data sets (the old database was limited to a maxi-
mum of 4 GB)
A new CALYPSO 2021 measurement plan creates the PiWeb reporting
database format (*.dfs) automatically. Older DFM databases created
prior to CALYPSO 2020 have to be converted to the new DFS format. If
the conversion has not yet occurred, it must be performed once in CA-
LYPSO 2021 under Windows Start ZEISS CALYPSO 2021 " Con-
vertPiWebDatabase.

1-6 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 Information on use

Use of XXT styli in the DuraMax simulation

To correctly display XXT styli created with the stylus kit for DuraMax,
they must be rotated 90 degrees in the stylus kit to correctly show the
installation direction for DuraMax.

Improved calculation of position tolerances

The calculation of position tolerances with a slot or rectangular hole in
the datums has been enhanced. This can result in different results.

BestFit evaluations of curves

BestFit evaluations of curves from recalled, self-centered measured cylin-
drical helical paths were not correctly fit if the direction of the nominal
and actual standards were significantly different.

Use of NVIDIA graphics cards

The use of NVIDIA graphics cards is recommended. The graphics card
drivers must always be kept up to date. The 3D setting must be set to
Autodesk Motion Builder compatible. This enables maximum per-
formance and system stability.

Creation of a coordinate system from

tolerance best-fit
If a coordinate system is created from a tolerance best fit, which will
used for the following curves, the stylus radius must be corrected with
the measurement points.

Different stylus tip radius in PiWeb report

The stylus tip radius shown in the PiWeb report corresponds to the ra-
dius used to calculate the feature. It may be different than the actual
stylus tip radius. Use the options available in CALYPSO to check the ac-
tual stylus tip radius.

CALYPSO 7.2.16 1-7

Information on use

New IPP Export interface

The IPP Export function has been integrated into this version of CA-
LYPSO. Results can be exported as an IPP file.

Reset view tolerance best fit method

The calculation method for position tolerance and for the bore pattern
best fit was reset to the level of CALYPSO 6.8.12.

Profile element function removed

Measure -> Additional features -> Profile element has been com-
pletely removed.

IVY Export function removed

The IVY Export function has been removed from CALYPSO. Selected
reports containing the measurement results can no longer be sent to the
IVY server.

New switch in QDASCONV.CON

MaskNaN = [INT5]
– Value = 0: Not active
– Value > 0: active
– Value is on [INT5] (s. Q-DAS ASCII transfer format, V12 / 2015 Ger-
man)
If MaskNaN is activated, the following behavior will be used:
– CHR file: the "actual" column contains exactly the character string
"NaN"
– DFX file: K0001 is written "0"; K0002 becomes the value
"MaskNaN" (e.g. 90)
The switch works with:
– useKnotation = 0 | 1 | 2
In order to use the MaskNan switch, the setting Err-characteristics in
the chr table file must be active. This can be performed in the com-
patibility settings of CALYPSO.

1-8 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 Information on use

Measurement of surfaces under a transparent

surface
The measurement of surfaces under a transparent surface can result in
problems with DotScan. If necessary, travel paths and/or probing strate-
gies must be adjusted.

CALYPSO 7.2.16 1-9

Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

Floating point numbers

Microsoft has changed the way it uses floating point numbers. This can
lead to minor changes in the measurement results.

Deviation in the output in an additional

coordinate system
The use of an intersection of skewed 3D lines with a projected result
could lead to an offset in alignments. This occurred more often when
the coordinate system was tilted towards the base system. This behavior
has been corrected since CALYPSO 7.0.00 and can lead to changes in
the measurement results.

Temperature sensor and workpiece

temperature sensor
Simultaneous use of the temperature sensor and workpiece temperature
sensor is not possible!

Possible discrepancies between documented

error and actual error
The way in which CALYPSO calculates errors for the report was changed
starting with the 2019 version.
This can result in discrepancies between documented error and actual
error.

Correction of the “Caliper Distance” and

“Polar Caliper Distance” characteristics
The “Caliper Distance” and “Polar Caliper Distance” characteristics were
not calculated with filtered points.
The correction may lead to changed results.

 Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

Discontinued report templates: behavior from

CALYPSO 2020
PiWeb reporting: timeline for the switchover phase from
2014 to 2020
A new reporting system was integrated into CALYPSO 2015. PiWeb re-
porting joins PiWeb reporting plus, PiWeb sbs (sbs= small business solu-
tion) and PiWeb enterprise as part of the new PiWeb family.
PiWeb reporting is now the standard for reporting at ZEISS. Other re-
porting methods will no longer be enhanced.
CALYPSO 2019 features many new beneficial functions for PiWeb re-
porting. Detailed descriptions can be found in the following chapters.

Discontinued report templates

1. Custom report, user-defined report
Latest version: CALYPSO 5.8
Replacement: PiWeb reporting
2. Graphic element, Basic Reporter (PiWeb 5.0)
Latest version: CALYPSO 5.0
Discontinuation of development 8 March 2013
Replacement: PiWeb reporting
3. Flex reporter option (PiWeb 5.0)
Latest version: CALYPSO 5.0 with PiWeb 5.0
Discontinuation of development 8 March 2013

CALYPSO 7.2.16 1-11

Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

Replacement: PiWeb reporting plus

SMA customers with Flex reporter receive a free license upgrade to
PiWeb reporting plus.

What happens from CALYPSO 2020?

– CALYPSO measurement plans created prior to CALYPSO
2020:
Older measurement plans that were programmed before CALYPSO
2020 and use the custom report, graphic elements or the Basic Re-
porter, can also still be used with the old reports. There will be no
troubleshooting for old reports.
– CALYPSO measurement plans created from CALYPSO 2020:
The custom report, the graphic element and the Basic Reporter can
be opened. There will be no new functions and no troubleshooting
for old reports.
– CALYPSO measurement plans created from CALYPSO 2022:
The custom report, the graphic element and the Basic Reporter can
no longer be opened. There will be no new functions and no trou-
bleshooting for old reports. All other reports and printouts will re-
main active.
All other reports and printouts will remain active.

Calculation of angularity: changed results

The algorithm to calculate angularity has been changed. For angularity
of planes with respect to a single datum, this possibly results in some-
what smaller tolerance zones, which represent the actual minimum.

LineScan 2-8
Installation of LineScan 2-8 (first-time installation)
1. Run Carl Zeiss Optical Components LineScan 1.22.1 Setup as admin-
istrator.
Installing LineScan 2-8 with already existing LineScan sensor
systems
1. Uninstall the existing LineScan installation via the Control Panel: Carl
Zeiss Optical Components LineScan X.XX.X (Setup < 1.22.1).
2. Run Carl Zeiss Optical Components LineScan 1.22.1 Setup as admin-
istrator.

1-12 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

3. Install the existing LineScan sensors and LineScan 2-8 via the
ToolSetup on the enclosed CD.
4. Requalify all existing LineScan stylus systems.
Installing LineScan 2-25, -50, -100 with already existing LineS-
can sensor systems
1. Run the Carl Zeiss Optical Components LineScan 1.22.1 software up-
date as administrator.

LineScan operation
To use LineScan 2-8, WBScan must be uninstalled before installing CA-
LYPSO.

ROTOS
In the ROTOS alignment windows and in the management of the rough-
ness standards, it is possible to change the measurement direction.
Changing the measurement direction leads to malfunctions that can re-
sult in damage to the equipment! Therefore, the measurement direction
must not be changed!

CAD view in the AutoRun mode

The CAD view must remain open in the AutoRun mode. Closing the CAD
view may lead to measurement abort or unexpected results.

Using space points

The use of space points with non-axis-parallel directions for the creation
of the base alignment, which is also created with a rotation, could lead
to a flawed calculation of the base alignment.

Position tolerances with the “2D Line”

feature
The use of different styli for measurement of angularity, perpendicular-
ity, and parallelism based on a 2D Line feature may have led to incorrect
results in previous CALYPSO versions due to adding the difference be-
tween the stylus radii.

CALYPSO 7.2.16 1-13

Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

XTR
When using the XTR probe, the “Optimized navigation for Rotating Car-
riers” option must be set to Off in the CALYPSO Compatibility Settings.

Rotary table operation

Using the RT-AB rotary table
If you use the RT-AB rotary table, which can be lifted and lowered for
loading, the subsequent measurement must be run in the same condi-
tion as when the base alignment was defined. Otherwise, the subse-
quent measurement will not relate exactly to the previously defined base
alignment!

Using the RT-AB rotary table

The lowered state of the RT-AB is only intended for loading the rotary
table and is not suitable for measurements! Make sure that base align-
ment definition and subsequent measurement take place in the lifted
state of the RT-AB.

RT-AB displacement on CMM

Operation of the RT-AB rotary table requires the reference mark to be
requalified after any displacement of the rotary table. To do so, select
“Qualify RT Alignment Mark” under “Other” in the stoplight window or,
when qualifying the rotary table axis, select “Feature for rough pos. of
RT axis” in the RT menu.

RT location for the RT-AB rotary table

When performing a rough qualification of the RT-AB rotary table angle
in CALYPSO “RT location”, the user is prompted to probe the reference
point within the RT location function. The rotary table must be posi-
tioned at 0 degrees. Observe the 0 degree information.

“Missing Bore” function

When using the “Missing Bore” function in connection with measuring
probes (e.g. VAST, etc.), a measuring force of at least 100 mN or
higher is required to qualify the stylus used. Otherwise the function
cannot be guaranteed. This also applies to the “Search distance after
nominal position” function.

1-14 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

Probes, stylus systems and qualification

RC list qualification using LineScan and LineScan II
List qualification is a special type of CNC qualification. The set limit val-
ues are monitored during this process and the stylus will be marked as
invalid if a limit value is exceeded. In the standard CALYPSO installation,
limit value monitoring for Sigma is set to 0.01 mm. This limit value is too
low for a LineScan sensor and may have to be corrected or disabled.

ROTOS light
If more than ten active Bluetooth devices are in the vicinity of a ROTOS
sensor used with CALYPSO 2021, the ROTOS sensor may not be de-
tected automatically when a stylus system is created for the first time. In
such cases, users can enter the Bluetooth ID manually.
The Bluetooth ID is specified on the sensor. Any existing leading com-
pany number (e.g. 0080e1) must NOT be entered, otherwise the ID will
not be accepted and the connection not established.
Once the stylus system has been successfully added, neighboring Blue-
tooth devices will no longer cause interference.

Canceling a list qualification

If a list qualification process is canceled, the articulating system may stop
in an undefined position and the stylus system name changes to not_de-
fined. In this case, you must reject the prompt (Probe in direction of the
stylus shaft) and reinsert the stylus system before restarting the qualifica-
tion. Otherwise, a collision may occur.

Shaft radius of the reference sphere

The shaft radius of the reference sphere entered on the Reference
sphere management page must be large enough for any stylus radius:

To avoid collisions during stylus qualification, the shaft radius entered

must be increased to a value that takes into account the largest stylus tip
radius (see D2 for the red sphere in the sketch).

CALYPSO 7.2.16 1-15

Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

However, if you select a shaft radius that is too big, the number of possi-
ble qualifiable angular positions (RDS, DSE, etc.) is limited. To avoid this
problem, the same reference sphere can be created several times, each
time with a different shaft radius, and selected for stylus qualification as
required.

Optical systems
O-INSPECT: control console potentiometer
CAUTION

The potentiometer on the control console of the O-INSPECT has no in-

fluence on the rotary table movement.

GigE camera installation

The use of a GigE camera (OI 322) requires adjustments to the firewall of
the CALYPSO computer. Please observe the enclosed information sheet
or the notes in the 600061-4107.010_Konfiguration_Fire-
wall_Kurzversion.pdf file stored in the Tools\GigE Sensor Tools direc-
tory of the DVD.

ViScan – manual CNC mode

In the manual CNC mode, the probing method must be selected again
manually after focusing.

1-16 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

CMM controller, Windows system, and

software
METROTOM measuring module
An existing version of CALYPSO must be uninstalled before CALYPSO
with the METROTOM measuring module is installed! Multiple installa-
tions of CALYPSO with the METROTOM measuring module are not per-
mitted.

FACS automation – individual adjustment required

The FACS automation interface is tailored to each customer's needs and
must be adapted individually. Contact our support team before using
CALYPSO with your FACS application.

64-bit Ghostscript is incompatible

The 64-bit version of Ghostscript does not work with CALYPSO. If you
want to use Ghostscript, install the 32-bit version.

.pdf output – cumulative function

Ghostscript is required for cumulative output in .pdf format. Version
8.56 or higher is required for problem-free use.

Configure power management for network boards and

USB hubs
On Windows systems, the power management of the network boards
must be configured so that it can no longer be turned off by the operat-
ing system. To do this, set the following configuration in the Device
Manager for the respective network boards or USB hubs:

CALYPSO 7.2.16 1-17

Notes from previous CALYPSO versions

Uncheck the box next to Allow the computer to turn off this device to
save power.
Recommendation: set the power mode to Never and High Performance
in the system power options.

64 bit – graphics card driver for NVIDIA FX1800

With an NV FX1800 graphics card and a 266.45 driver, the driver must
be modified for 64-bit systems. The 3D setting must be set to Autodesk
Motion Builder compatible. Otherwise CAD models may react much
slower when you rotate or move them.

Modification of installed files

Installed CALYPSO files must not be modified! Renaming or removing
files (including measurement plans!) that are stored in the CALYPSO di-
rectory during installation can lead to malfunction when using the
graphic element. The automatic repair installation triggered by this usu-
ally fails. Manually inserting program files (e.g. via Windows Explorer)
can also lead to malfunctions.

New features in CALYPSO 2021

General information about the “New

features” chapter
NOTE
Images of the software interface in the New features chapter are only
available in German or English in some cases.

New CALYPSO dynamic planning option

154090 You can use the CALYPSO dynamic planning option to dynamically con-
trol the scope of inspection via prepared files.

Benefit The CALYPSO dynamic planning option increases the productivity of

your component inspection by using the characteristic inspection level.
Automatic adjustment of the inspection level with changes of important
influencing factors in the QA process is possible. At the same time, qual-
ity control costs are reduced in the process.

2-2 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 New features in CALYPSO 2021

Details Basic concept and systematic procedure

The inspection scope files are simple text files, each of which contains a
list of the measurement plan characteristics to be inspected. Each line
contains the name of exactly one characteristic here.
You can control the scope of the measurement plan and the measure-
ment runs depending on which files you save to which directories.
– CALYPSO initially searches for inspection scope files in the char_se-
lections subdirectory of the project directory and offers them for se-
lection in the CNC Start window.
– If such a directory is not available, CALYPSO searches for inspection
scope files in the ...\workarea\char_selections_wa\measurement
plan name subdirectory.

Exporting a characteristics list

Select all characteristics and, via the CNC context menu, open Define a
Group of Characteristics.
When the file extension is specified, the corresponding selection file is
automatically created in the desired directory.
– *.seli = storage in inspection directory
– *.selw = storage in work area directory

Importing a characteristics list

Possibility for defining the scope of inspection via external files:
– The file contains the list of the characteristics to be measured.
– Different files in the char_selections subfolder of the measurement
plan.
– The selection of characteristic groups on the CNC start page will be
extended.
Search order:
1. List the file list in the char_selections subdirectory of the measure-
ment plan folder.
2. If nothing is found in the measurement plan folder: Search for the
char_selections_wa subdirectory in the workarea directory. Search
for the folder with the name of the measurement plan in this subdi-
rectory.
3. Show the file list.
The selected external file from the selection list is the default value of the
scope of inspection.

CALYPSO 7.2.16 2-3

New features in CALYPSO 2021

Characteristic list as forced default value

If the subdirectory contains a forcedSelection selection file, this selection
is always applied and no other selection is possible.

Default value of report header parameters of an

external file
Default value of report header parameters of an external file:

2-4 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 New features in CALYPSO 2021

– Place the external file setProtHeadParam in the selection directory

for characteristics.
– Enter a line with a language-neutral keyword and value for each pa-
rameter to be set, separated by a TAB stop (list of report header pa-
rameters, see Online Help).
Example:
drawingno DN_4711
order OR_0815
u_cust CUST_123

For the automatic measurement run, the existing parameters are re-
placed by the contents of setProtHeadParam. An automatic reset of the
forced selection with deleteCounter also deletes the default filesetProt-
HeadParam.

Specifying a counter for the scope of inspection

As an option, the forcedSelection file can be be deleted automatically
after a certain number of measurements.
– Specify a deleteCounter file with the desired number of forced mea-
surements in the selection directory.
– Once the measurement plan has been run this number of times, the
forced selection is reset. Regardless of whether the run was started
individually or in a pallet.

The following files are deleted:

– Number of components to be checked: deleteCounter is deleted.
– Forced default value of scope of inspection: forcedSelection is
deleted and stored as forcedSelection_OLD.

CALYPSO 7.2.16 2-5

New features in CALYPSO 2021

– Report header parameter: setProtHeadParam is deleted and stored

as setProtHeadParam_OLD.

More flexibility for special applications

Selection directory deviating from measurement plan name:
If the selection file for a measurement plan is not located in a subfolder
which bears the name of the measurement plan, the value of a report
header parameter can be used as an alternative.
– To do this, save the charSelSubDir file to the char_selections subdi-
rectory of the measurement plan.
– This file must contain the keyword of a report header parameter
(e.g. partid).

STEP AP 242 now also with PMI

Now PMI information which is available in the STEP AP 242 format also
can be imported directly. The STEP interface is sufficient for this purpose.

 New features in CALYPSO 2021

General function
CAD presentations can be created by entering a name or by selecting a
previously saved view.
CAD views can be saved, renamed, loaded and deleted.
The size of the view can be set by selecting a standard paper format or
user-defined by entering the length and width.

Editing CAD presentations

When a CAD presentation is selected, the corresponding view is dis-
played. The window of the CAD presentation contains a list of charac-
teristics and features that are displayed in the view. Entries can be
deleted from or added to the list. The view also can be changed via
CAD " Evaluation.
The menu items CAD " View " Save view… and CAD " View "
Load View… from previous CALYPSO versions have been removed.
Now all settings can be accessed under CAD " Manage views.
When the name of the CAD view is selected in the PiWeb reporting re-
port, the correct CAD view is selected in the TreeViewer by the hyperlink
action in CALYPSO.

Unilaterally displaced tolerance zone of a

profile
104162 With a CAD model from CATIA, CALYPSO can detect the offset toler-
ance zone in profile tolerances and move it in the corresponding charac-
teristic. If you create the Profile or Line Profile characteristic from a CAD

CALYPSO 7.2.16 2-7

New features in CALYPSO 2021

model with PMI, the dialog elements Shape of Zone, Tolerance, and Tol-
erance (one side) will automatically be filled with information from PMI
in the definition template of the characteristic.

Benefit The automatic generation of measurement plans from PMI is thus im-
proved. The user saves more time when creating the measurement plan.

Details CALYPSO detects the unilaterally offset tolerance when importing a pro-
file tolerance from PMI.
– The tolerance zone is moved according to ISO / ASME when the pro-
file tolerance is created.
– When the profile tolerance is created from PMI, outside of the ma-
terial is always set automatically.

2-8 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 New features in CALYPSO 2021

– Then the tolerance zone (one side) is calculated: (Currently available

for CATIA).
– The TEF (theoretical exact feature) tolerance center is moved ac-
cording to ISO 1101 (UZ).
– The tolerance value located directly outside of the material is
specified according to ASME Y14.5.
– The Bilateral with unequal distribution setting is applicable for
ISO and ASME:
– For ISO: Bilateral with unequal distribution - one result.
– For ASME: Bilateral with unequal distribution - two results.

Generating two-point distance for parallel

planes from PMI
151431 PMI characteristics defined as the distance between planes are created
as the two-point distance for parallel planes according to ISO 14405-1.

CALYPSO 7.2.16 2-9

New features in CALYPSO 2021

Benefit There are two results in CALYPSO 2021:

New features in CALYPSO 2021

Faster loading of measurement plans

126871 A certain amount of time is required to load larger CAD models. If the
CAD model is saved together with the measurement plan; however, the
measurement plan does not require the complete CAD model with all
functions, the loading time can be reduced considerably. The loading
and saving of measurement plans can be accelerated by optionally omit-
ting the actual values.
This may make sense e.g. when only working at the CMM or editing the
nominal values. To do this, the load settings must be changed. Depend-
ing on the setting, only one view of the CAD model or only the set of
geometrical features is loaded:

Benefit

2-28 CALYPSO 7.2.16

 New features in CALYPSO 2021

CALYPSO can import large, high-performance CAD models which con-

tain actual values.
Furthermore, the measurement plan can be loaded or saved either with
or without actual values. This saves time if the actual values are not re-
quired.

Details

Result element
152079 Previously, it was not possible to define the type of tolerance limit for
the result element (tolerance limit or natural tolerance limit).
Benefit From now on, it is possible to specify the tolerance limit as a natural tol-
erance limit in the result element.

Torus evaluation settings - Constraint of

degrees of freedom possible
161682 The following constraints of the degrees of freedom are possible for the
evaluation settings of the Torus feature:
– X, Y, Z position
– Normal vector
– Large radius
– Small radius
Benefit The calculation of the degree of freedom can be constrained if neces-
sary.

Surface profile characteristic now also

possible for Torus
161683 In the future, the user also will be able to select a Torus when selecting
a characteristic in the surface profile.
A calculation of the surface profile without a datum reference frame is
not possible for the Torus element. A datum reference frame formed
from individual references or an alignment must be specified.
The surface profile of a Torus is calculated by disabling all degrees of
freedom of the Torus (including both radii). The form referenced to the
datum reference frame is the result of the surface profile.

Line profile with reference length according

to ASME Y14.5 and RRES 90004
152672

The line profile with reference length function works similarly to the cur-
rent curve jump evaluation, except that it uses the segment length (L) in-
stead of nominal point numbers.
Details In addition to value L, a value for the tolerance range (W) and an over-
lapping factor (O) for the segments (similar to straightness with refer-
ence length) are defined.
The values for L, W, and O can be adjusted via PCM command or by
means of a formula.

points, or from points which have already been filtered to eliminate out-
liers and undergone a best fit.

Details

Check box not ticked: The original measurement points of the curve re-
sult points will be used.
Check box ticked: The result points will be used. The result points result
from all spline calculations (filters, best fits, deviation methods, restricted
evaluation, stylus correction…) and are always made available in the
base alignment (similarly to the original measurement points).

Color setting of point set

104158 Users can define the color of the individual points of a point set or point
cloud.
Benefit The visibility of the point sets is enhanced if their color contrasts with the
CAD model. This simplifies work for the user and makes the workflow
more convenient and faster.

Point set - Evaluation optimized

150154 With thin-walled workpieces and large deviations, there is a risk that
evaluations will appear on the wrong side (rear side). The new logic pre-
vents deviation calculations on the rear side.
– Angle = 180 degrees: No constraint.
– Angle = 90 degrees: Projection onto the opposite side of the work-
piece is prevented.

CALYPSO 7.2.16 2-41

New features in CALYPSO 2021

Benefit With an angle that is adapted to the workpiece, evaluation on adjoining

surfaces (on edges) is prevented.

New features in CALYPSO 2021

Group comments or text element. What makes more

sense?
Recommendation: Use a group with group comment. The group is as-
signed to characteristics. The sorting and result filtering therefore func-
tion with assigned group headers in the report. An individual characteris-
tic selection generates the correct group header. Report elements auto-
matically create the correct group header.
The text element has no logical allocation to characteristics. Text ele-
ments have no effect in the report with regard to sorting and result fil-
tering. Text elements must be removed manually in tables. A text ele-
ment functions only in the standard report.

PiWeb reporting - Entering the plot

Installation with CALYPSO 2021.msi

For CALYPSO 2021, a separate CALYPSO 2021.msi installation package
is available in addition to the setup.exe file. This format enables an inter-
face-free installation (silent installation) and centralized installation by
administrators (remote installation). This is particularly beneficial if multi-
ple CMMs and/or OFFLINE stations have to be managed. CALYPSO
2021.msi is included on the installation medium in the CALYPSO direc-
tory.
Special conditions must be observed:
Setup requirements – CALYPSO 2021.msi does not include the pro-
grams required for setup. These must be already be installed or installed

Basic CALYPSO installation from the installation medium

Basic CALYPSO installation from the installation medium

Please observe all notes on installation described in Installation notes
and system-related information.
CALYPSO is a single-user application. It cannot be installed in a network
and not be run as a client-server application. Local administrator rights
are required to install CALYPSO.

NOTE
If this version updates an existing CALYPSO installation, you should first
uninstall the existing installation.

This will not delete existing data such as measurement plans, stylus data,
or other CMM-specific data. However, we recommend that you make
backup copies of the data on a regular basis.
Use the Windows Uninstall function for uninstallation. To do this, open
the control panel via the Windows key, select “Uninstall program”, se-
lect CALYPSO in the list, and click “Uninstall”.
To comply with the separation of programs and data recommended by
Microsoft for Windows, the software will be installed in the following di-
rectories:
Programs C:\Program Files (x86)\Zeiss\CALYPSO 7.2
Program data C:\ProgramData\Zeiss\CALYPSO 7.2
User data C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO
If the previous CALYPSO version is not uninstalled, CALYPSO 2021 will
be installed in parallel to the existing version. This allows you to alter-
nately use both versions.

NOTE
Special attention is required if several CALYPSO versions are used alter-
nately!
– There is an increased risk of stylus systems being mixed up during au-
tomatic stylus system change! Before changing the stylus system for
the first time, make sure that the currently used stylus system is actu-
ally inserted in the probe.
– Generally, measurement plans saved with a new CALYPSO version
cannot be opened using an older version. Observe any warning on
this when saving.
– If external evaluation programs are used, make sure to adjust the
paths for data access accordingly.

Basic CALYPSO installation from the installation medium

Once the setup prerequisites are installed, the CALYPSO 2021 setup is
unpacked and the installation is initiated and started. You have to ac-
cept the end user license agreement.
Das CALYPSO setup detects automatically if an older version is already
installed and, in that case, displays the following dialog page:

If you want to install the new CALYPSO version in parallel to an existing

version, you have to confirm that you are aware of the above precau-
tions in order to continue with the installation. Installing an older ver-
sion in parallel to an existing more recent version is not permit-
ted!
In case of simultaneous installation of several CALYPSO versions, user
data is saved in separate directories.
For CALYPSO 2021, the directory is:

 Install service packs and patches

Install service packs and patches

Necessary program modifications and additions are provided as service
packs or patches. Service packs and patches can be provided by email,
download or on a data carrier. The general procedure is the same for all
media.
If you also receive a CALYPSO service pack or patch with the CALYPSO
installation medium, the service pack or patch must be installed after
the base version has been installed.
The corresponding base version must always be installed from an instal-
lation medium before a service pack or patch is installed. The currently
installed version can be seen in CALYPSO in the Miscellaneous menu.
Furthermore, the currently installed version is also automatically entered
in the CALYPSO error report. It can be accessed via the Extras menu.

NOTE
A patch contains corrections to one or more acute error messages and
has been tested at a reduced level. If your system is affected, we recom-
mend installing the patch. Otherwise, the correction will be included in
the following service pack, which will undergo the entire testing
process. For detailed information about the latest patch, please contact
customer support.

Coordinate measuring machines and sensor systems

Minimum requirements
This chapter lists the minimum firmware versions required to operate the
software, both for standard and retrofit systems.

Operation with a different firmware version

We recommend using the latest firmware for optimal operation of our
coordinate measuring machines. New versions of CALYPSO also run on
systems with old firmware versions. The compatibility overview table
shows the firmware that was originally delivered for the individual CMM
types or the respecified minimum firmware version. In general, you can
only use new functions relevant to the system or connect new sensor
systems after the firmware is updated. To eliminate corresponding limi-
tations or identified malfunctions, it may be necessary to purchase an
upgrade to the latest firmware and/or hardware version. Please see the
additional specifications.

Additional requirements for individual functionalities

Individual software functions that are heavily dependent on specialized
hardware products and functions may have additional requirements.
Please see the additional specifications for the corresponding coordinate
measuring machines.

Scope of testing
The software was tested with the latest coordinate measuring machines
and the latest firmware. In this configuration, full performance and com-
plete functionality are guaranteed.

NOTE
The installed firmware versions can be viewed under My Systems in
the ZEISS portal.
You can register for and access My Systems on the ZEISS portal via the
following link: https://portal.zeiss.com/my-systems/metrology

Retrofit

 Hardware-related functions

Hardware-related functions
Different functions and options in CALYPSO require adaptations or opti-
mization of the system hardware. Furthermore, specific firmware and
controller versions are required. These combinations are already covered
with the delivery of a CMM with the corresponding CALYPSO software.
The system hardware and the entire system have been optimized for the
function.
On existing systems, various retrofits are required depending on the
model if new hardware-related functions in CALYPSO will be used. If
necessary, contact ZEISS and check out the available modernization
packages.

NOTE
The technical details about the operation of functions and options must
be checked together with ZEISS. All information subject to change. Sub-
ject to additional modifications over the course of downstream en-
hancements.

Windows system and software requirements

The necessary software requirements will be installed automatically dur-
ing the installation of CALYPSO if they are not yet available on the target
system. For a detailed overview of the software packages included, see
Software scope and current modifications.
The release of new software products for Windows 10 is done with the
following systems:
– ➤ Enterprise LTSC/LTSB editions [⇨ 4-21]
– ➤ Enterprise and Pro editions [⇨ 4-22]

Enterprise LTSC/LTSB editions

ZEISS software products are approved and supported for all LTSC/LTSB
editions that have not yet reached Microsoft's end-of-regular-support
date and will not reach it within one year.
ZEISS products will no longer be approved for Windows 10 versions that
only receive extended support from Microsoft or have already exceeded
the end date for extended support.
This procedure is required because new technologies are used on new
ZEISS products, which must be partially supported by functions of the re-
spective operating systems whose compatibility with older versions of
Windows 10 can no longer be guaranteed.
All service packs created during the lifetime of a version of a ZEISS soft-
ware product are approved for the same Windows 10 versions as the
main version.
Different rules can be implemented if, for example, individual Windows
versions or critical development components are discontinued prema-
turely. In these instances, this will be communicated explicitly.

NOTE
Not all features of an update work on all coordinate measuring ma-
chines. A CMM might not receive an update if its hardware is not com-
patible, the latest drivers are not installed or the support from the Origi-
nal Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has been discontinued. For more in-
formation, please see the Microsoft homepage.
