    I am a newbie to CNC and all parts involved and still taking baby steps. I am setting up my probe and is working fine. For some reason I am unable to switch the tool bit diameter from the default mm to inches. It look like it should be a drop down box but it's not.

    Probe only supports mm at this time

    Use the AUTO mode to avoid entering values completely

    Correct, for optimum feature set and usability - CONTROL is primarilly meant for use with our products
