- | * Step-jog count specifies whether the user wants the machine to monitor the inputs sent to it as it is already moving or not.

If selected, the machine will count however many signals are sent to it even if it is moving already, if not selected then the machine will ignore other signals until it has completed its initial movement. This allows to set up pendant control which will either count the number of impulses sent from the pendant and move an according distance, or will instead try to match the rotation speed of the pendant wheel (moving when the wheel is moved, stopping when the wheel is stopped). |
* **Sync G0 & (G1, G2, G3) Overspeed** allows the user to sync the rapid and cutting speeds, allowing the user to use one set of buttons (shown in the screenshot below) to change them at the same time. If the check mark in the Motion configuration dialog is set to **ON**, then upon pressing the Overspeed buttons on the main screen, both G1/G2/G3 AND the G0 Overspeed will be changed (speeds will be synced). If the check mark is set to **OFF**, only the G1/G2/G3 speeds will be changed upon pressing the main screen buttons, and controlling the G0 overspeed | * **Sync G0 & (G1, G2, G3) Overspeed** allows the user to sync the rapid and cutting speeds, allowing the user to use one set of buttons (shown in the screenshot below) to change them at the same time.

The Encoders config window allows the user to fine-tune encoder settings. This window is typically not useful for simple tasks (such as using a rotary encoder to control overspeed, etc), as it allows for further finetuning of the encoder values. | The Encoders config window allows the user to fine-tune encoder settings.
