Probe build

Still a newbie to all this but I was proficient with our old 1808 without servos. I still use an old Bendix 1000 with ridged probes for reference (you all can chuckle now). Issue I'm having is that when I try to build a new probe, there's nothing in the drop down box. When I delete the probe file and try to type in a new probe, everything in the probe description becomes blank. I actually had to take a picture with my phone as it wouldn't let me take a screen shot. Below that, the options that are given are not what I need and I cannot override/enter what I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Good morning Hi-Tech Redneck. Here's the other two probes that I have.

  • On my machine I have a Tesastar-SM head rather than the HH-A-T5 like you have. When I create a new probe that head loads automatically. I do not know what's driving that because I've never had to worry about it. My next connection is my probe body which is a LSPX-1. On your probe dialog your head is not autoloading, and your available options do not contain a head. That combined with the fact there is an Asterisk by your head leads me to believe at some point, someone has manipulated your PROBE.DAT file....
    Maybe I'm wrong...
