I'm working on a Super Mini Mill with a Renishaw wireless optical tool setter and Version 16 software. I have three problems:
1) In IPS, I navigate to the SETUP TOOL tab and then press F2 to allow the tool setter to measure tool length and diameter. At the "Approximate Tool Radius" prompt, I have to enter the tool's diameter rather than its radius. If I enter the radius, the table doesn't shift enough for the tool setter's stylus to pick up the tool's perimeter.
2) Once the tool setter has run through its routine and I'm back to the SETUP TOOL tab, the value shown in the "Tool Diameter" box is not the tool's diameter, but instead is its radius.
3) At the "Tool Material" box on the SETUP TOOL tab, if I select either Carbide or High Speed Steel, these words flicker (in black) and alternate with some other words (in red) that I can't read.
Anybody know the solutions?
