Oddball MDI Issue

Hello,

I’ve recently set up my Boxford 190 VMC using the calibration setting on the axis and have been using a DTI to verify this.

When using the calibration commands to move the axis’ +/- it works very well.

I apply and save the settings.

When in the MDI I have some really odd things happening. For example X +1 randomly gives a real life output of much larger.

Sometimes nothing happens at all. Other times the axis moves in the opposite direction! So confused!

I thought this might be “noise” but surely it wouldn’t work in the calibration menu if so?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check whether you are in incremental or absolute mode (G91 or G90).
