Hi All
a- I choose jogging mode
b-Step option at 0.1 per unit
Then when I press my arrow or jog button briefly, it jogs 10 times(0.1mm x 10) or a whole unit before it stops. (A whole unit which is 1mm in my case.)
My question is this:
Why cant I just jog 0.1 every time I push the button. ??..Is it normal for mach to go throug the whole unit every time?
please shed some light on this for me. ???

I think I answered my own question, (halfway) After more investigating it seems like Mach does 10 steps for all the significant digit that it is set in the step mode.
meaning if I go down to 0.01 it still does 10 steps but at least now I get my 0.1mm ??(the distance I want)
I still want to do a single step per button press though, instead of waiting to go through ten steps every time.
the reason I am asking is that I limited on the buttons on my pendant so I was hoping to do a 3 buttons, one for 1mm step,0ne button for 0.1mm step and one for 0,01mm step.
