I'm trying to probe the edge of a very narrow slot, and when the probe backs off after the touch it contacts the other side. I've adjusted parameter 13, but that seems to only affect the backoff after the first touch.

The second backoff or clearance move after the cycle has completed the slow touch and is moving clear of the work, does not seem to be affected by parameter 13. Is this second clearance move hardcoded into the probe routines, or is there another parameter I'm missing that controls it?

Tom,

Which probing cycle are you using to probe your edge?

Hi Dana, it was Part Setup, Set X approach from Left (X+ direction).

tom, please post fresh report.zip so we can see the configuration so we can look into it further, thanks, k

Here's the latest report:

Please ignore this thread. Senior moment and didn't realize that single surface probes don't do a second retract. DUH!
