Steve Stallings:
What you seem to be describing is an encoder.

A probe is a device that gives one on or off signal to indicate if the
probe has touched the target object while the machine was executing
the G-code for a probe move.

If you expect to be able to read the encoder while the machine
is in motion, then you will have to write scripts to support that.

Linear scales with 0.005" resolution should cost on about $200
for a short scale. To get 0.001" resolution you will need one of
the fancy ones with an "interpolator" and those are expensive.

Yes I have done all the programming and successfully but now have to do it in Lua...
