USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
You need to install the macro (download at the bottom of this page) into the user cycles area in the control or it will not work. To do this you must first log into the control with the manufacturer password, then you can paste it into the user cycles folder. The control must then be reset (power cycle).
The post and macro currently support single point in X Y and Z, or inside and outside rectangle without island. If there is interest I will code the other probe methods but these are all I use. You can download the post here.
The posted code will write to the G54 offset, if you want to change that, you will see a "54" in the _probe call (_probe(XXX, 54, XXX, XXX, XXX). Simply change that to whatever offset you want manually in a text editor and then save it (55, 56, 57, etc.). Run slowly first, which will affect the measurement accuracy, once you verified it is safe, then you can run it again at full speed.
The system counts on you using the MCS system for your probe, meaning you set the origin for probing routines at MCS 0. To make this easy I have a model of my table with the MCS origin in Fusion 360. I then set G59 offset to all 0's in the control, which then mirrors the MCS system. Then for the probing routine setup I select offset "6" which is G59, and the probe will write to G54 by default. I intend to make it changeable in Fusion but I haven't had time to look into it.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I am not guaranteeing it will work for you. I have spent countless hours writing and testing these, it is still a work in progress but should be usable. Let me know if you run into any issues though!!
