Tool lenght sensor configuration

Hello hard working comunity.
I have recently switch to linuxcnc and I cant manage to configure the tool lenght sensor.
Can anyone recommend anither gui and kindly explain more about the tool sensor.
As the machine is my build, I want to have fixed position for measuring tools, and make a little macro which will measure every tool and set to predefined offset (same for each tool).

I will post more about my machine and the tool sensor.

Cheers

Marko

Thank you fellas, I really appreciate your help.
I have made some progress. Some of this links did help, but I still have a lot of questions.
I have made an adjustment on my GUI, and included .xml file in machine.ini and buttons apeared, but functionality fails.
The scripts in the buttons dont work for me, so I have made my own script for my machine.

Two questions:
1. How do I link my custom buttons to my script.
2. Exlpanation of problem.
My absolute 0 is on the top of my Z axis and tool lenght sensor is in a fixed position leveled with my initial work table.
When the tool is zeroed, it position is -113.xxx , and I want that temp coordinate to be my new zero. I will also include command to ask me what is the offset from the top of the work piece (work table = zero ; work piece thickness = offset)

What command calculates the current position and makes it zero on another temp coordinates.

I hope I made the issue clear

Thanks again

Hey there fellas

Machine is doing great, and I most fascinated with the accuracy and reliability. Position accuracy and positioning is lower than 0.01 on 150 mm, and around 0.02 on 550 mm.
