 =====Setting up the probe tool=====
-This manual covers the basic setup of the probe tool that can be used in a number of myCNC profiles and applications in order to determine an exact position of the part on a milling machine. The probe can find edges, corners, hole centers, and more.
+The probe tool is currently being sold as part of some myCNC kits. The main sensor looks like the image below:

 ====Calibration/Adjustment of the probe sensor====
-In order to properly adjust the probe before starting the measurement procedure, it is necessary to eliminate any deviation that might be otherwise present in the probe. For this purpose, an indicator is used, as shown in the image below. This indicator should be sensitive to small forces of about 0.3-0.5 Newtons.

+===Wired Tool Setter (SEN-TS-WR01)===
-===Wired Tool Setter===
+The tool setter is designed to determine the exact coordinates of the tool mounted on a CNC milling machine using the contact method. The CNC system generates these coordinates as the tool comes into contact with the tool setter measurement platform, and uses them to calculate the height and diameter of the tool, to link the machining program to the work tool location.
