With this installation, I also tried the touch plate function. It’s visible that after probing the touch plate, the program sets the Z value to the height of the touch plate before executing the retract. This causes the retract value to be added, and the resulting height above the object is correct.
Unfortunately, the program then subtracts the length of the current tool, which in my case is not useful.
Is it possible to disable this behavior?

Thank you very much for your support.

After experiencing issues with other software on my computer, I decided to perform a fresh installation using the current DVD version 2.9.4. (2.9.7 after Upgrade)

Unfortunately, I'm once again encountering problems with Z-Level Compensation.
After creating the “probe_points.txt” file, I can enable “Z-Comp”, but the value in the “Z_Axis Comp” field does not change as expected. Once “Z_COMP” is turned off, it cannot be reactivated without restarting the program.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards,
Klaus

What I noticed right away was that they use SyncManager 0 for process data. This is not normal.
SyncManagers 2 and above are for process data, SM 0 and 1 are for mailboxes and handles SDO upload/download especially during the early phases like INIT.
I don't think you can change the syncmanagers, the device has what it has, but a wild experiment could be to change the SyncManager idx="0" to idx="3". If you haven't thrown the device in the bin already
