In each axis you can "test" your settings and adjust them after each test. To get you in the ball park use a ruler and move 1" if you only get 1/2" the you need twice as many steps. If you don't know the specifics about your machine you will have to do some testing and measuring. You can test the timings as well in step config to see what the limit is if you don't have that information as well. Ok, I'm back I had to go out to the shop and look at my EMC machine... I'd leave 200 steps/rev and 2 microsteps alone for now and adjust the leadscrew pitch to 10 and try that. Notice the numbers on the bottom change when you change an entry. The scale is how many steps per user unit. 200*2*10=4000 Btw, 200 steps/rev is what most steppers do... And you have it moving that is a good thing...
