So I guess what I need is the G-Code or M-Code or a way to get the control to NOT read ahead so much as the macro program uses values from the first probe touch to get to the second probe touch. The way things are going is that I get the alarm that I described in my first message.
Thanks in advance,

:idea: I just remembered this. You say you have a macro program written for the Touch Probe. Some Older Yasnac Controls Delete the Variable List when Powered Down. Chech to make sure your Varibles are still there and that the memory batteries are good. I had this problem once because someone failed to tell me the Memory Bateries in the Control needed replacing. Good thing I write everything on my lap top, or I would have had to refigure all the varibles for a macro I didn't write.
