Ideally the tool will report an identical maximum and minimum value.
(That is, ideally the probe obtains an identical result on all ten
probes.) However, it's normal for the minimum/maximum distance to
differ by one Z step_distance or up to 5 microns (.005mm). So, in the
above example, since the printer uses a Z step_distance of .0125, the
results would be considered normal.
probes.) However, it's normal for the minimum and maximum values
to differ by one Z step_distance or up to 5 microns (.005mm).
The distance between the minimum and the maximum value is called the
range. So, in the above example, since the printer uses a
Z step_distance of .0125, a range of 0.012500 would be considered normal.
If the results of the test show a minimum and maximum distance that
differs by more than 25 microns (.025mm) then the probe does not have
sufficient accuracy for typical bed leveling procedures. It may be
possible to tune the probe speed and/or probe start height to improve
the repeatability of the probe. The `PROBE_ACCURACY` command allows
one to run tests with different parameters to see their impact - see

the [G-Codes document](G-Codes.md) for further details. If the probe
generally obtains repeatable results but has an occasional outlier,
then it may be possible to account for that by using multiple samples
