    I messed up microstep step setting.

    This morning I found that when I switched from standard jog mode to microstep mode each axis move 1 inch now before stopping.
    I am at a loss at what in the world I did to change this. It worked fine before jogging only 1 step at a time. everything else functions fine..
    Thank you in advance for pointers

    Press the {TAB} key and then select whatever step length you want. Then press tthe {TAB} key again to return to the screen.

    You can also change the steps by pressing Alt + J
    (Press Ctrl + J to change the jog mode; btw Cont. <-> Step.)
