i don't remember where i got the original file from, but i modified it to suit my machine, i think.
my understanding is this.inserts a reminder for me to place the plate, and the ground clip.
then it sets workpiece zero (g54) to wherever it currently is (presumably just above probe plate).probe down, within -10mm, at 2mm feedrate (too slow?)set tool offset for G54 (workpiece), to 10mm, or the thickness of my to-be-made probe plate.
then the Z moves up 10mm, so i can remove the plate.
have i modified this correctly?
Thanks in advance

o100 sub
( make sure we are in mm mode )
G21
( MDI_COMMAND=o100 call )
(MSG, Please insert touch probe plate, and connect tool ground clip)
( Set current Z position to 0 so that we will always be moving down )
G10 L20 P1 Z0
( Probe to Z-10 mm at F2 [Uses machine units, mm in my case, this is meant to be slow!] )
G38.2 Z-10 f2
( Set Z0 at point where probe triggers with offset of +10 [this is the thickness of my touch plate. You must adjust this for your plate / setup] )
(G10 L20 = Set Coordinate System // P - coordinate system 0-9 0 = Not active)
G10 L20 P1 Z10
(Incremental mode)
G91
(Rapid Z up 10 mm)
G0 Z10
(Use workpiece coordinates)
