Differences from RC4

- Added to the Wizard Tool Touch Off device setup menu choices between the two main methods of measuring tool height offsets. Reference Tool method OR Z ref = Z home method.

- Added to the Wizard Touch Probe setup menu the ability to enable/disabled the new Probe Protection feature based on Tool number.

How would that work for the oak since no wizard is possible. Is the entry in the parameters enough?

An additional bit was added to the bit-mapped parameter 3. "Add 16: Probe Protection based on Tool Number"

Yes, (the wizard sets cnc12 parameters).
any new parameters will be added to the operator manual with description on how to use them.
side note, if you wonder what parameter/file the wizard is setting press ALT P on any screen and they will be displayed.

Trying out 5.1 RC5 today.

Auto Z to plate not working.
I have a NC TT device setup in the wizard as mechanical, input state when triggered=open
This shows to be working correctly in the diagnostic screen, however when using auto z to plate it doesn't work. Z keeps moving until it triggers the over travel switch in the device that I have tied into my estop. It does indeed trigger the input LED though.

Hello,

Appreciate the report, looking into it this does appear to be a wizard issue. A quick work around is to set Parameter 406 = 0 or go into the wizard and set the Probe to Closes when tripped instead of Open (even though you do not have a probe). Should be resolved in the next version.

Hello,
Ok, setting Par 406 to 0 did the trick. Wizard writing issue I guess.
Thank you
Bill
