Probe Pins Mach3 ,3040

I have a 3040 with the black T-D 3 axis controller ( although it is actually a 4 axis controller). Using mach3. Appears to be just like the Yoocnc versions.
Ive searched around but cant find any info on using the little Auto tool setting probe deal that came with it. Maybe because it has such a generic name or im not calling it by the right name. Anyhow i cant find any info on this thing
Specifically the pin settings but also kind of general use.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Try setting the probe pin to port 1 pin 13 active low.

If you need more help p.m. me your contact info,

Thank you. I can see in diagnostics where the current state of pin 13 goes low now when i jog down to touch the pad so i assume it is working correctly now.
I just have to play around a bit in mach3 a bit more and find some function to test that assumption.

So had to go to pin15 but its working I did my first probe today. Now ive been hunting out some way for hours now to actually use that data. The txt file mach3 generates doesn't seem to be able to be converted to anything useful In any cad programs.
