Offset Force Issue

This is the first that I have heard that you need the probeoptions command before each loadprobe command. Are you sure this is necessary? I can see how it might be needed for DC800 controllers since the probing parameters are treated as non-modal and revert to controller defaults when runtime terminates. Perhaps a probe change also triggers a reset to controller default unless otherwise specified?

On a B3C, or similar controller, probing parameters are modal and will not change unless explicitly changed in the program. With this type of controller I doubt you need the optionprobe statement if you aren't explicitly trying to change a parameter.

Edit: I completely agree that you should have the optionprobe statement at the beginning of every program. I'm just not sure you need it multiple times in a single program unless you are trying to change the valued of these parameters.if you want to use the same parameters throughout the program I think you only need the command once.
