Talked to scott today, (couldn't call back after 5pm) so i need advice from the 3-11 shift of experts here!
I'm using the beta control software 3.5b22. I went thru the loading of firmware. It recognizes probe. We set up a test probe with these parameters (pictured below)

Now my understanding is the probe should move in the X axis till the side of the probe contacts the object. It should stop, raise up, lower and start probing the object, right?
This starts moving in the X axis contacts the object and continues in the X without raising up and if i were not holding the object and moved it, it would drag the probe across the surface till it broke (again). Also the stepovers seemed like they were about 1/8" at a time and not 1000th which would be a tiny movement.This is the same behavior as before. This feels like a software issue to me.."But what do i know, i'm just the 800 pound Gorilla in the room". Anybody with a probe that is successful can give advice? THANKS
