    To build on what Peter said in the other thread:

    Download the zip file and unzip it somewhere.

    In Control, go to the Macros tab (red arrow) and click the 'Import' button (green arrow). It will ask for a file - point it at the .json file that you downloaded and unzipped.

    That will add a new button to your list of macros (yellow arrow). Click that button to run the probe routine (after positioning the probe at the starting point).
