Backlash is supposed to work in the CSMIO but I have never used/needed it so can't say from personal experience.
First thing to find out is if it is consistent along the length of travel, if it is then just plug the numbers into the backlash page and enable.
Easiest way to test is place a clock on the table and against the head, somewhere flat preferably and then with the smallest MPG or Jog increment move onto the clock and keep going until it is zero then Zero the X DRO in Mach and then MPG/Jog the opposite way and watch the clock to see when it starts to move, the value in the DRO will be the backlash. Repeat for Y but this time you can have the clock on the knee and have the tip against the saddle.
