Figure 4C.19 shows the internal servo module circuitry that interfaces to
the touch probe connector. It is shown here to assist you in determining
whether your touch probe hardware is compatible.

The following table indicates probing threshold voltages. Maximum Input
Threshold (critical if the control has been configured to fire on the falling
edge of the probe signal) indicates the voltage that the probe signal must
fall below to be considered as “fired”. Minimum Input Threshold (critical
if the control has been configured to fire on the rising edge of the probe
signal) indicates the voltage that the probe signal must rise above to be
considered as fired
