G-code to check torch height before cut and adjust if required

Hello everyone, I would like to put a standard G-code script in my CAM that pauses the machine after initial height sensing so I can check and adjust if necessary before firing and starting the cut. I tried twice but didnt get it to work right and from my CAM computer to the Plasma table is a long walk plus its too hot to concentrate in the shop so I thought I would ask if anyone already does something similar they could share?

Just set the cut height to .06 manually and verify it’s accurate by measuring. There’s no need to verify it on every program.

You do however need to watch the material for deflection, which can vary throughout your cut, negating the initial measurement.
