I personally do not like the "Cycle" increments, it can be dangerous.
What I have is a DRO that I can enter the value I want, I also have my most common amounts that I use on 4 buttons, that way I known when I it the "0.001" button that it will always be set to that.
If you open up your screen in "Screen 4" or use a Flash screen I would recommend adding 4 buttons. You could use Mach codes as well:
Select Step value 1 Button 265 (1.000)
Select Step value 2 Button 266 (0.100)
Select Step value 3 Button 267 (0.010)
Select Step value 4 Button 268 (0.0010)
Select Step value 5 Button 269
Select Step value 6 Button 270
Select Step value 7 Button 271
Select Step value 8 Button 272
Select Step value 9 Button 273
Select Step value 10 Button 274
Set Jog mode STEP (same as button 205) 275
Set Jog mode CONT (same as button 204) 276
Alternatively, you can send the value and turn on Incremental mode using Flash script or VB script...if you need help with the script let use know.
If for that day you have a comman distance your traveling you could have a DRO that you enter the value to store the value and on a button send it.
