If using a software pendant approach while having selected a particular axis (for example, by using the hotkeys to switch the step size while only using the MPG wheel to control the X axis), you can enter ''soft'' into the Dimension field so that the length of displacements uses the software pendant value:

 If you use the [[https://shop.pv-automation.com/et10/9-mycnc-et10.html|ET10 controller]], you can utilize the dedicated encoder inputs instead of connecting the MPG wheel to the binary inputs of this controller. In this way, it is not necessary to specify two binary inputs but rather one specific encoder input.
