Hypersensing questions

So I should mention to the Chief test pilot that I don't think the number of readings averaged should be too big becasue we really want to only average the voltage for that period the voltage is increasing as it makes contact.

A load of crap! deleted sorry.

Thank you for the explanation, I think I mostly understand what you're trying to do. So far my experience has been that it works. However if it decides to not work, I'll be sure to let you know :laugh:

I did notice sometimes it pauses while probing. I think that is when the material was rusty and it got to the float switch instead. I'll have to do some testing around that, see if it's really an issue or a perceived issue.

I think the pause happens when the probe has to back away for longer before it breaks contact. I observed this sometimes pre hypersensing. This can happen if the material is warped or near an edge hanging over a slat so the material bends down before the probe triggers. You also see this if you probe into a puddle of water as the contact breaks once the torch clears the meniscus resulting in being far too high!

My feeling was it is quicker probing with hypersensing.

I have not upgraded to Phil's fast probing. I suspect that might make this more prevalent by smashing into the material.

It seems to pause before retracting at all. but maybe it is moving really slowly until it gets to the switch.

I rapid to the probe height at 100 dinos per minute (DPM) and then I probe at 20 DPM. I'm not doing production so I dont see the need to smash it in there.

I suspect its just moving very slowly. It took me a while to work it out...

Let me say it takes a long time to get to the max limit when probing backwards at 0.001 mmm (modern millimetres) per millisecond....
