### Probe Use Partial Calibration

Some type of probes, the most common of which are certain analog scanning contact probes, initially require a fairly involved and time consuming calibration procedure to be able to calculate various calibration related coefficients in addition to the usual tip size and offset. In subsequent calibrations it may not always be necessary to do a complete recalibration. Often it may be sufficient to only recalculate part of the calibration information.

For example: It may only be necessary to calculate a new tip size and offset while leaving the rest of the coefficients as they are. In this case a much simpler and less time consuming calibration procedure can be used.

This value stores the last used value for the checkbox in the Probe Utilities dialog box. When this value is set to TRUE (1), the simpler, partial calibration will be used. Otherwise, the complete recalibration will be performed.
