### TF - Touch Mode Off

The TF command prevents the system from sensing deflection of the touch probe except during commanded touches or seeks. In this mode, the system can ignore touches resulting from the vibration experienced by a long probe that is traveling at a high velocity. Because damage can result if the probe contacts a surface with force, use extreme caution when using this function.

Whenever this command is used in a part program the TN command should be used to re-enable the touch probe before terminating the part program.
