Hello Bill,

thanks for the answer.

Oh, yes i have changed the "Linear value"
to 1.0000000.
(I tried to keep the digits on the same lentgh than the original
value)

The BDI for EMC is 2.0
The kernel is 2.2.18. rtl3.0 and it is installed on a PII 233MHZ.

So as long as i keep the inch units the jog works but the lentgh are
not correct. But when changed to unit 1 and other input value i
couldnt get it working.

I tried also changing Output value but i guess i is not needed
because encoders are not present.

Any idea ? I am sorry but i am totally new to linux.

thanks again,

frank
