And, while they do have a scale, my attempts to set it to a value that returns an additional 1 per click, have been ignored, without reporting any error. I've tried the powers of 2 up to 16, but one click is 4 at the count output regardless. I either don't understand the man page, or its broken. Probably the former. I can run it thru a mult2 by .250000 and get something resembling the correct count, but returning the dial to zero doesn't always return the output to zero, and thats no good if you want to take .0065" off the part to get the correct size. This might be an artifact of the slower 200hz jog-thread, or even the servo-thread is occasionally missing a count. And for some reason, I may have to change that .250000 multiplier to a -0.2500000, its moving backwards.
