Y Axis Motion

Hi,

I'm in the process of mounting my Y axis scale and I'm wondering which
direction of motion should increase the scale readout.

What I mean is if I have my table all the way out closest to me, I then
Zero the Y Axis and move the table towards the column should the DRO
value increase numerically or decrease?

I'd like it to match the conventions for MACH or TurboCNC or EMC.

Thanks.

John
