Jkovar unless your controller board has an analog input and does A/D conversions you cannot read that type of signal directly in Mach3.
Now if your measure device has a serial output Rs232 or Modbus then you can get the result directly through Rs232 or modbus. Mach3 supports both of those funtions.
You could also use a MODIO to process the Analog signal and talk to Mach3 through modbus .
Years ago we did a project with a laser range finder and MACH3 we use a MODIO to do the A/D conversion and talk to Mach3. Back then the resolution of the laser device we used was not good enough for fine detail work such as non contact probing .
Just a thought, (;-) TP
