Maybe of use for others...

Nice feature to tune ballscrews, and stupid easy to use, no messing around with config files, dial in and be happy

Hey Keith the best just keeps getting better - Nice work.

With my nitpicking hat on and FYI, Vid parts 1 and 2 appear to be the same

Sorry if this is a dumb question (and I did not look at everything provided yet) but I'm wondering if a probing cycle could be used for this.

Probe along X and or Y, to determine any Z variances. Etc.

Yes,
future idea is to add a auto probing cycle just for this purpose that would auto probe along any known good surface and then auto put the data in the comp table.

for now you can use MDI to move the probe into position, probe single edge, read/record the position off the DRO and hand enter the correction amount needed for that point in the table.

or write your own probing cycle.
