On the ALT-6 tab screen right above the Reset button is an axis calibration utility. Click on that and follow the instructions. It will ask you a distance to travel, then you confirm that it moved the distance that you requested. The utility will automatically calculate the proper numbers to put in the motor tuning settings. That should correct your problem.
