You can set up a rotary table to index, which is rotary / the Steps per unit is steps per degree, or linear where the rotary motion is expressed as distance traveled
relative to some diameter. You desire to index so you do the following:
1.In motor tuning for the A axis you input the steps per degree ( 160 in your case case ) and additionaly input a value for velocity and acceleration. The velocity
and acceleration values require you to experiment to find where the stepper will not skip.
2. In config> General config check the box "A axis is angular" for angular properties
- also you have a 3 choices for what is displayed in the DRO's in the Rotational box. Information on those settings can be found in the manual.
3. G0 Ax - rotates the axis x degrees but note that the rotation can be incremental or absolute depending on Distance Mode settings
