use the Wizard to configure your probe.
the message is telling you cnc12 thinks a probe is plugged in and in the spindle since you must have a probe detect input defined in the wizard, either defeat it, configure it properly or remove it.

Ok I figured out it was a setting in the tool touch off wizard I had checked and now all of that works.

I'm still having trouble with enabling and disabling my output 8 relay using m08 (my air blast) What is a Simple mfunction code I can create to do that and how do I get m08 to call it up? I tried to skim through the macro guide yesterday on limited time and only partially understand how it all works. I'm going to go through more thoroughly when I get a chance, but I'm hoping there's an easy way to do this that somebody knows.
