Multiple Probes?

I am building a toolsetting touch probe right now but down the road I would also like to get one of the renishaw type probes as well. I would leave the toolsetter in place for automatic tool length calculations on tool changes and use the renishaw type probe to find corners, centers of circles.

I read through the instructions on setting up a probe but it's unclear whether you could have multiple probes. Is it possible to have two probe inputs?

The probe cycle watches changes in the probe input. So you could wire both switches in parallel. Physically by putting them in series (NC contacts) or parallel (NO contacts). Or by using two HAL inputs and connecting them with an AND (active low inputs) or OR (active high inputs).

That makes sense. The two probes will never be used simultaneously so I'll just wire them in parallel.

That is good to know. My electronics skills are pretty minimal. The toolsetting probe I'm making is normally closed and the Renishaw probe is also normally closed.
