				I just looked at this file on my host and noted that it appeared to be edited in DOS (ouch):  /usr/bin/z_level_compensation
There was a ^M on every line ending.
Cure and fix if you have this problem: sudo perl -pi -e 's/\r//g' /usr/bin/z_level_compensation

				Hello Chris,
After experiencing issues with other software on my computer, I decided to perform a fresh installation using the current DVD version 2.9.4.
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?
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.
Best regards,
Klaus
