It has one feature that I like. The $25 replacement ruby tip probe is half the price of the replacement probe tip for the Haimer Zero Master. They should either sell the replacement probes in packs of a dozen for $100, or give away the Haimer to ensure future sales of the delicate probe$. The http://deepgroove1.com page made a big deal out of the high tech contact material that allows more switch contact operations before carbon buildup results in switch failure on their probe. If we wired probes with three wires (+V, COM, and the probe signal) instead of just two wires for switch contacts, we could have some active electronics in the probe and use some optical or capacitive or inductive non-contact method to generate the probe signal without any contact degradation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
