when try to use z axis for auto probe the readout states Ive already touched the bit when I have not. i.e. the green check mark is on when I have not set the probe up. If I then hit probe it gives a error code 4 and states “probe not in initial expected state. G3.82 & G3.83 is not triggered. G38.4 and G38.5 is triggered” I have tried every configuration and it does not work. Any thoughts?

with system booted up , go to config , then probe. under probe place in invert position(blue) and next turn toolsetter to invert(blue) . Auto probe now works correctly. One might have to go in and out of program once changes are made. Hope this helps
