VB Code MACH3 Zero Set

This VB source code controls a probing tool to measure the height of a plate. It moves the probe down at a controlled feedrate and checks for contact. If contact is detected, it sets the z-axis offset and returns the probe to a safe height above the plate. If no contact occurs, it returns an error message.
