I'm trying to get Scaling working on my axis. An increment produces 36.6mm of movement, so I want to put the units in application as 36.6.
However the docs say that I need to change bHiresMode as it doesn't show me the option for Precision in the User Interface.
I'm thinking that I need to change the precision so I can enter decimal places.
How can I do this, or is my thinking wrong?
Thanks,
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
you need to set the increments to 10 (the screenshot shows 10000 hex = 65536).
all the turn settings to 1.
and the application units to 366.
But usually you use the resolver resolution per motor turn.
Insert the gear ratios (1:1 for no gear)
and the last field you put the circumference of your drive wheel.

Hi,
you should see 2 input fields in the scaling tab of your linear axis:
increments and units in application
just set increments to 10 and
units in application to 366
Thank you so much for the reply.
The motor is a rotary connected to a linear actuator. So would I set it up as in the attachment screenshot?

That's brilliant, thanks so much for all your help.
