    Mach 3 Setup

    I am testing my new machine and the software.
    I have the curious problems of having mm set as the primary units but when I do anything with the axis the displays show in a multiple of 10 e.g. instead of 100mm the value displayed is 1000.
    I would appreciate any advice as to how I can get the diplays to show in absolute mm. No doubt I have made a config error but I do not know what it is.

    Sounds like your steps/unit are off by a factor of 10.
