Have the following rows in a .ngc file run then pressing a button: o<touch-off-tool> sub

G1 Z#<Z> F#5 ; Move back to start start point with rapid speed M72 ; Restore modal state o<touch-off-tool> endsub M2 Use the same file to measure probe length. P5 and P6 is to select if input should come from edge detector or tool setter. Parameter #3 probe distance I have set to a distance slightly shorter than spring length on tool setter in case it fail to detect contact. Tried to drill and thread a hole to connect tool setter top plate to digital input. Hardened steel so the drill did not even scratch it. Ended using a hose clamp.
