A GTK based version of the third party Verser probe in a tabbed layout for smaller displays.
30+
This is a version from 2015 by Serguei Glavatski which has **less functionality** than the current, but it **takes up less space on the screen** (no DRO e.g.).
31+
This can be useful on smaller displays.
32+
33+
**For Reference - The Current Version**
34+
35+
The documentation and source code of the current version can be found here:

This is a modification of the 2015 version of GTK Verser Probe. It moves the elements from one window to containers with switchable vertical tabs. The goal was to reduce the window size.

=== GTK Mesa Tests
114+
This screen allows the user to verify whether they have a suitable and well-tuned PC for their Mesa card.
115+
116+
Based on the design of Mesa Configuration Tool II https://github.com/jethornton/mesact Copyright (c) 2022 jethornton
117+
118+
Although this screen was originally part of the configurator, it is not the configurator. It is a control system. Mesa tests uses data from a running LinuxCNC, but does not send any data to LinuxCNC, nor does it set anything. Parameter adjustment is only allowed to simulate the desired state.

Mesa Tests is a tool designed for beginners to sleep better or to know if they need to buy better hardware or tune their hardware better. It is better to use tools like Halshow or Halscope to monitor the parameters (pins,thread, ...) used. The list of parameters is displayed on the right side of the screen.
