Floating Head, Probe, LinuxCNC Preview

Hello,

I am working on setting up my floating head for a plasma cutter. I have my G38.2 Z-10 F500 and G92 Z0.0 and it seems to work as expected. What I didn't expect is the LinuxCNC preview of the Z axis. Each probe move stair-steps the Z axis further down due to the probe move. Is there anything I can do so the preview displays correctly? Thank you!

Well, if it does it on yours, then it can surely do it on mine. I didn't know if I had something set wrong and am modifing a CNC router so I had LinuxCNC showing an isometric view.

Makes sense to use the Z view. Thanks John!

Yes - And thank you for that, too. I found your code earlier in life and just now have portions of it in my sheetcam post processor.

OK - That would explain it. And it probably doesn't matter now because of using the Z view, but wondered if there was a setting in LinuxCNC to disregard the probe code because of the necessary probe length in order to cover the full range of a machines Z distance.

I do feel better that it happens on yours, too. That's good enough for me.
