This program uses two variables, #537 and #538, to position the probe in X and Y and then calibrates the probe's tool length. An approximate tool length Offset must be entered for the probe before running this program. Using variables to position the probe makes the program very flexible. Simply move the machine to the point where you want to touch the stylus and look at the position display. Enter these values for #537, #538 and run the program. You will need to edit T60 to match the tool number of your probe.
