Touch Probe Signal Debounce

Does the probe input on the Acorn have a contact debounce filter built in?

I ask this because Renishaw mentions this in some of their literature and that accuracy is improved if you can filter out the bounce that is present in a kienmatic probe output. Here is a sketch that describes what I'm talking about:

I also found a white paper on Renishaws site that has a good discussion of how a kinematic touch probe works.

Yes. It's all taken care of.

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the very quick answer regarding this. Can the ACORN perform the same probing as shown in this video?

I suspect that if the answer is "yes" then I'd have to get Centroid Ultimate CNC software.
