Bob, I set up the probe tool like any other tool with the spindle speed at 100RPM. This gets the machine going without an error, then I move to location about an inch from the probe surface. Manually insert an M05 to stop spindle then run the probe routine. This works for us. You can also do Fred's suggestion and that works fine. Just make sure you have a feed selected or it might neglect it all together.
