Hello Brian,
Wave Drive will ONLY work in a MaxNC and all the Directions are set in the software for a MaxNC. This was done to make it simple for the user and was done with he help Of MaxNC (Otto the creator him self). So If you need to change the direction you don't have a standard MaxNC. As for not showing the motor axis pins... This is a very small section of the sales and was added to help a few users with old MaxNCs.
As for the Sherline mode, this will give you a longer step pulse (40us) and some of the lesser quality drives need to have a pulse that long to make them work. Sherline Mode will not effect MaxNc modes as they have there own pulsing format.
Under the properties tab you can set the depth per pass, rapid height, start height, depth, plung feed and feed rate. You MUST have the layer selected to change the settings. If you are new to running a machine stay away from cutter comp. Cutter Comp is great for typical parts and sucks if you are doing short moves that are in artistic shapes.
