Yeah and that is why I am asking this question...

---From The Manual--

NPN output normally-open inductive or capacitive sensor
Duet 2 Maestro, or revision 1.04 or later of Duet 2 WiFi or Duet 2 Ethernet: you can connect the output of the sensor directly to the Z-probe IN pin.
Other Duets: Connect the output wire of the sensor to the cathode of a diode, and the anode of the diode to the Z probe IN pin. The diode should preferably be a small-signal Schottky diode such as BAT43 or BAT85, but a small signal silicon diode such as 1N4148 works for some people.

All Duets: Connect the sensor ground wire to a ground pin on the Duet, and the sensor's + power wire to a suitable voltage (typically to VIN because these sensors usually need between 6 and 30V power).
Select mode 5 (P5) in the M558 command, also include parameter I1 in the M558 command.

So where does this tell me the mode to use in the configurator?

Where do I connect the +V and 0 V are those pins directly beside where the output plugs in? This is unclear to me.

Again any help would be appreciated, as I have reviewed this information but I am still unsure.

I have a NPN-NO proximity sensor. I attached the wiring diagram. I presume I can just connect this directly to the Z probe pins on the board but how should I connect based on my wiring diagram. Also in the firmware it asks for me to select a Mode with the following options; No Z probe, Switch, Unmodulated or smart IR probe, Simple modulated IR probe, Ultrasonic probe, Smart Effector, and BLTouch… Do I use Switch Mode? Does this have any bearing on how I wire it?

Thank you very much to anyone who can show me a clear path to configuring this. -P3D
