Is there a Code lto put into a program to have mach probe?
I want to be able to add a line of code in my program to have mach probe the tool and then start running the program.

Any such animal?

Yes, just write an M code probing macro, and call the M code. You'd just need to modify one of the many auto zero macros that are floating around.

G31 is what you'd use to probe.

Some example of probing routine that you can use and update with your own parameters.

Open the VB editor and paste the code.

Its all done in visual basic, you will need to learn this to do any kind of editing or writing.
