Abstract
A touch probe circuit comprises a displacement sensor having a sensor signal responsive to touch probe stylus displacement, an offset compensation controller, and a difference amplifier. The offset compensation controller provides a varying offset compensation signal to compensate drift in a rest-state signal component of the sensor signal. The difference amplifier inputs the offset compensation signal and the sensor signal and amplifies the difference therebetween to provide an offset compensated displacement signal, which is output to a touch trigger signal generating circuit that provides a touch signal when the stylus touches a workpiece, and is also output to the offset compensation controller. The offset compensation controller portion provides a feedback loop that inputs the offset compensated displacement signal and outputs a responsive low pass filtered offset compensation signal to the difference amplifier, in order to provide the offset compensated displacement signal.
