Re: EMC configuration help

Hello Erich,

There is FAQ regarding this at [1]. I'm copying it here for your
convience:
----
EMC: How to I set the steps per unit for each axis? (TOC)
INPUT_SCALE and OUTPUT_SCALE are number of pulses for each unit as
defined in the UNITS = line. One for mm, 0.03937007874016 for inch. 

Using inch and steppermod, you just need 

INPUT_SCALE =           8000 0.000 

With inch and freqmod selected you need both

INPUT_SCALE = 8000    0.000
OUTPUT_SCALE =  8000    0.000

With inch and smdromod selected you can change the value between input and
output.  Input would be the number of steps per unit on the stepper
motor and output would be the number of pulses reported by the encoder per
unit. Since output scale is written back into the ini, they may look a
bit different that you ente after you run once but setting them as
suggested above should do the trick.

Best regards,

Henkka
