### The Relative Reference Index
### Configuring the zero reference position
Most probes are susceptible to drift, ie: inaccuracies in probing introduced by
heat or interference. This can make calculating the probe's z-offset
challenging, particularly at different bed temperatures. As such, some printers
use an endstop for homing the Z axis, and a probe for calibrating the mesh.
These printers can benefit from configuring the relative reference index.
Many probes are susceptible to "drift", ie: inaccuracies in probing introduced
by heat or interference. This can make calculating the probe's z-offset
challenging, particularly at different bed temperatures. As such, some
printers use an endstop for homing the Z axis and a probe for calibrating the
mesh. In this configuration it is possible offset the mesh so that the (X, Y)
`reference position` applies zero adjustment. The `reference postion` should
be the location on the bed where a
[Z_ENDSTOP_CALIBRATE](./Manual_Level#calibrating-a-z-endstop)
paper test is performed. The bed_mesh module provides the
`zero_reference_position` option for specifying this coordinate:

The `zero_reference_position` expects an (X, Y) coordinate matching that
of the `reference position` described above. If the coordinate lies within
the mesh then the mesh will be offset so the reference position applies zero
adjustment. If the coordinate lies outside of the mesh then the coordinate
will be probed after calibration, with the resulting z-value used as the
z-offset. Note that this coordinate must NOT be in a location specified as
a `faulty_region` if a probe is necessary.
#### The deprecated relative_reference_index
Existing configurations using the `relative_reference_index` option must be
updated to use the `zero_reference_position`. The response to the
[BED_MESH_OUTPUT PGP=1](#output) gcode command will include the (X, Y)
coordinate associated with the index; this position may be used as the value for
the `zero_reference_position`. The output will look similar to the following:
```
// bed_mesh: generated points
// Index | Tool Adjusted | Probe
// 0 | (1.0, 1.0) | (24.0, 6.0)
// 1 | (36.7, 1.0) | (59.7, 6.0)
// 2 | (72.3, 1.0) | (95.3, 6.0)
// 3 | (108.0, 1.0) | (131.0, 6.0)
... (additional generated points)
// bed_mesh: relative_reference_index 24 is (131.5, 108.0)
```
- `relative_reference_index: 7`\
_Default Value: None (disabled)_\
When the probed points are generated they are each assigned an index. You
can look up this index in klippy.log or by using BED_MESH_OUTPUT (see the
section on Bed Mesh GCodes below for more information). If you assign an
index to the `relative_reference_index` option, the value probed at this
coordinate will replace the probe's z_offset. This effectively makes
this coordinate the "zero" reference for the mesh.
_Note: The above output is also printed in `klippy.log` during initialization._
Using the example above we see that the `relative_reference_index` is
printed along with its coordinate. Thus the `zero_reference_position`
is `131.5, 108`.
When using the relative reference index, you should choose the index nearest
to the spot on the bed where Z endstop calibration was done. Note that
when looking up the index using the log or BED_MESH_OUTPUT, you should use
the coordinates listed under the "Probe" header to find the correct index.
