Ordered the complete DeskCNC servo system (ready to bolt on hardware along with software) with the TP-100 probe. All of the wiring was done by the manufacturer, so this system was supposed to be good to go as soon as it was bolted on. The probe can be configured to be used as a "touch off" tool height tool -- but no permutation of software configuration or macro programming will get it to function in this capacity. The DeskCNC software seems to behave as if it is scanning (as when using the TP-100 as a scanning probe) when the TLO (tool offset) command is called. The slow scan is in the wrong direction (up instead of down) when the Z axis motion is configured correctly. With the Z axis motion reversed in the DeskCNC configuration, the behavior when using the TLO command is still erratic. The only entry the software occasionally makes into the tool library after the TLO command call is the fixed TP-100 height which is the number entered into the software when it is configured. The software also refuses to home after the TLO command is called unless the TP-100 switch is depressed two times by hand...

Anyone else have any luck with this software?
