4. Settings
To use the Probe, it is necessary to correctly set the values highlighted in the following figure (in the panel “RosettaCNC Board Settings→Digitizer”):
For the model described here, the correct setting is NC.
With this probe, it is possible to perform surface digitization or use G-code probing functions.
4.1 Surface Digitization
For this function, some parameters must be set in the “RosettaCNC Board Settings→Digitizer” panel. Then the function is started from the “Functions→3D Scanning with Probe” panel.
4.2 G-Code Probing Functions
These functions are activated using G38 codes. See the section probing.
