@fcwilt I am lost on how to get it so it doesn't a single probe to get the right height and get up axis.
I'm sorry but I don't understand the question.
If you are asking about setting the Z=0 datum that happens in the "mesh_comp_map_load.g".
One of the things that you always do before loading the height map is setting the Z=0 datum.
I have it in that file to be sure the height map is loaded correctly.
Here is a simplified version of that file:
M98 P"probe_set_z.g"; set Z=0 Datum G29 S1 ; load existing height map M376 H0 ; set bed compensation taper (0 = no taper) -

M98 P"probe_set_z.g"; set Z=0 Datum G29 S1 ; load existing height map M376 H0 ; set bed compensation taper (0 = no taper)
I must be really ignorant... I don' have a "mesh_comp_map_load.g"

Where you see M98 P"...." that M98 command is executing a file that I created to perform a specific task.
Whenever I have a hunk of code I need to execute from more than one location I place that code in a separate file that I can invoke as needed with M98. That way I don't have any duplicate code appearing in multiple locations.
The common files you are likely to see are:
- config.g
- homeall.g
- homex.g
- homey.g
- homez.g
- bed.g
- mesh.g
In addition to these I have 27 other files of my own creation that perform specific tasks.

@fcwilt Okay, thank you for the explanation my friend.

Glad to help.
Do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have - that's how we all learn.

@fcwilt I have no clue or have a start of where I need to go, but am not close to you....

Well let's back up a bit.
What is it you want to do but don't know how to do?
I and others here can provide simple step by step code/instructions to do anything that needs to happen at the start of a print or the end of a print.

@fcwilt Right now I don't have any code (except old Little Monster Smoothieware code) and I went to print something and the z-probe didn't extend and the height went to low, I did the offset and have done the work to get it all set up, but don't know how to start it and how to end the code. This is all new to me, and it was unexpected. The MKS Base card burnt out so I went with the Duet and have not had the time to do my research like I always like to do. I just don't want to break something in the process.

Have you created the basic files I mentioned and have you installed them on the Duet?
- config.g
- homeall.g
- homex.g
- homey.g
- homez.g

@fcwilt Sorry I was in bed and working now. I have done all (not to say they are right or not).
I own a Tevo Little Monster but there isn't much left of that except for the frame. Duet 2 Wifi + PanelDue 7i.

OK lets check those files.
using the </> tag post copy&paste the contents of each file in a separate tag.
The </> tag creates a scrollable region and makes viewing code easy.

Great.
Now I don't have any delta printers so I had to check.
For a delta printer the RRF configuration tool doesn't create those four homing files, just homedelta.g
The homeall.g you posted looks like what the homedelta.g file should be.
So get rid of homex.g homey.g and homez.g and then rename homeall.g to homedelta.g.
Now with that out of the way let's turn to config.g.
You have an M587 there which not be used in config.g. You use that command when setting up the WiFi connection but you don't keep it in config.g.
At first glance everything else looks reasonable.
Does the PanelDue work?
Does homing work?
Can you move the nozzle to all places in the printable area?
Can you move over the range of the Z axis?
If you move to Z=10 and do a G30 does the Z probe work?
If you activate the heaters do they heat as expected to whatever temperature you specified?
Do the fans work?
Thanks.

Do the fans work?My PanelDue 7i works, I haven't been able to print an enclosure for it so I haven't really been using it, but it connects and shows readings, etc.
Homing does work.
Yes, I can move the nozzle to all places in the printable area.
I can move the nozzle over the range of the z axis using code, I can using the dashboard buttons. Homed it is x0, y0, z515 so when I put in a g1 z- command it goes down.
The z-probe worked, re-calibrated just now (put the bed at z5, now its z6.35), I thought I put that correction in the config, but I guess not (as you know its the distance between the nozzle tip and tip of the probe).
The heaters work, but I have another thread going as I always get faults that my block heater goes way above the set point. I have all e3d parts, I don't have an e3d cartridge thermistor but I didn't get one when I received the parts years ago and it worked when I had the old smoothieware system (MKS Base). The bed works great though.
The fans work (I think). I say I think because my heatsink fan is on 24/7 now, which I know is because of the connection I plugged it in. My part cooling fans are set to turn on when the temp goes above 50 I think but I didn't know how else to control them as I would normally in the slicer.
I did do an autocalibration and it worked
Besides the extruder heater/thermistor and the fans (but they work) I think to answer everything I would say yes besides my comments above. Sorry for the abundance of detail.

@fcwilt Interesting . Why do it as a call to files on the Duet? You do lose the Simpify3D script variable capability that way.
