H&T agreement + probing

I want to turn H&T code agreement off to use the whole tool table on my CM-1, but does that break tool probing? The parameters for P9023/P9853 seem to only have the Tool number, not a length or diameter offset into the table, so both measuring and break detection wouldn't work? I am not opposed to writing new macros, just hoping I am missing something and they aren't needed.
 
I have H&T code agreement turned off with no effect on measuring tools.
On mine, tool breakage won't work with it turned on.
 
I suppose you could read and reassign the system variable for H1. You can also use G10 to set length, dia, etc. I don’t think there is a way to strictly use the probing routine though.
 
In case anyone finds this in the future, the key is the P9853 routine. It will take a tool an an offset:

G65 P9853 B1. T8.112

B1. = non rotating length measurement
T8 = tool changer pocket number (1-20 on my machine)
.112 = tool table offset to update (1-200)
