Probe problems,When im setting up to probe an item I put ine the starting and endind point and when I hit enter the probe doesnt go down and touch the board.If I manually push it down from the top I get the hit enter to confirm.For some reason I always have to push it down manually, any ideas?

What firmware version? Should be at least 1.120.

Try using the sensor test menu to test the probe operation. It should change states when slightly deflected and then return. (I think it is normally closed and reads open when deflected, but I don't remember off the top of my head.)

Oddly - I'm having the same problem with the scanning probe. I have to push it down for it recognize the starting/ending corners.

Hello,

Please contact LHR hardware tech support. I believe the probe problem you both described is somewhat rare, but it has occurred before.
