Home z with V1 touch plate firmware vs applications

I have successfully installed the V1 touch plate on an MPCNC with Rambo 1.4 and used it from both the LCD and Repitier Host.

I’m wondering if the Home Z function in the LCD menu, and Repitier Host both send some G or M command that knows via a hard coded firmware constant how thick the touch plate is or if it’s implemented some other way that per-package I need to look for settings to inform the software how thick the touch plate is.

I am using Estlcam to convert dxf files to Gcode, so I included the following lines in the “text” setup window:

G90
M03 S
G92 Z4.85 ; lower4.85 mm to compensate touchplate

4.85 is the thikness of my touch plate, you need to change tha value with yours.
Doing so the lines are added to all gcode files
I hope I was helpful
