Configuring a touch probe

You can use probing functions to set presets with a HEIDENHAIN KT 130 Edge
Finder. The stylus of the edge finder can be additionally fitted with a ruby ball tip.
In order to use the KT 130 edge finder, you need to configure the relevant
parameters. The parameters are taken into account by the probing functions.
