double touching when probing

Post by Dave.Sohlstrom »

In your videos I see your probing operations touch twice. You mention in one that you have probing set to touch twice.

I can not find any place to set my probing operations to touch twice. Where do I set that.

thanks

Hi,
Whether MSM does a single or double probe operation is controlled by the "Probe Slow Feed Rate" parameters in the "Probing Op Parameters" panel. The Probing parameters are documented in section 8.5 of the user manual and section 8.5.1.5 covers the Probe Slow FR (Feed Rate) parameter.
If the slow FR is = 0, MSM does a single probe action, if the feed rate is non-zero, then a double probe is done.
