Rotary axis configuration question.

Good Morning,

I received a Sherline CNC rotary table for my birthday on Friday, and now I
am trying to configure EMC to work with it. My question is, do you
configure it for the number of steps per degree or the number of steps for
one complete rotation? In the case of my setup with the Sherline rotary
table, it is 144000 steps per 360 degree rotation or 400 steps per degree.

As I have it currently configured if I issue the command g0 a1 it will
rotate the table one complete revolution.
