I looked at our renishaw knock off for about 15 minutes then decided to
pull the Glue mystery out and use the contacts..

I was planning on using a hardwired connection, as the IMP module does
lose me some precious Z-h
I have one of those. I bought it for a similar price a few years back. I
did look into making an inductive pickup for it but never got very far
as I also picked up a Renishaw LP2 probe at about the same time. I made
a QC30 holder for the LP2 with an infra red emitter that fires up the

It might be operating at a low frequency, but you could try tuning for it on a
handheld radio, like a small transistor MW radio held up close. Even way
off-frequency you might be able to detect the difference between ON and OFF.
You could then hunt for the strongest signal.
