You didn't mention which post processor or touch off method you are using, but generally the switch offset is set in either the post, or in Mach3 (but not both). The switch offset is used when you are using a switch in the Z axis to sense the material height. If you are using Ohmic sensing, then the Z offset would be Zero.
