Hi Adam,

I have a feeling that single step mode does not work in Mach3. You need to use MultiStep.

Best to check with Brian.

Cheers,

Peter.

Hi,

In Hi Res mode the ModIO counts every transition, so there are 4 per click. Have you tuned the MPG under the config tab?

In Multistep mode Mach remembers how many clicks you have moved and will mode the axis to the distance represented by the number of clicks.

Cheers,

Peter.
