So I need to edit 5i20.ini and 5i20motion.hal?
Yes. In general, for ANY EMC configuration, you edit the ini file. If you are doing something that isn't a very close match to one of the sample configs, you will also need to edit a hal file or two. The HAL files give you extreme flexibility and control over your machine, but they require you to carefully think about how you want it to work. The example files are there to make life simpler for folks who just want a very "standard" configuration.
