-  * 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. +  * 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  will be possible through the Motion dialog (see the //Jog, G0 and G1, G2, G3 Overspeeds// line below).   * **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.

 The following settings are available:  The following settings are available: 
-  * Encoder resolution for each particular encoder number. +  * Encoder Number Lines for each particular encoder - this allows to specify the total number of lines/markings per one full rotation of the encoder wheel (note that this is different from the total pulses per one rotation, which would be specified in Settings > Config > Inputs/Outputs/Sensors > MPG through binary inputs)
   * The current encoder value is displayed on this screen. This is the fastest way to check if the encoder is connected/working - for example, turning an MPG wheel handle should immediately change the current encoder value in this field for the selected encoder.    * The current encoder value is displayed on this screen.

-  * Mul coefficients (multiplication value) +  * Mul coefficients, as well as /(2^Div) values. These Mul and Div coefficients are used due to the fact that the controller cannot handle floating number data in calculations, therefore it is necessary to first multiply and then divide a number by certain coefficients. They are used to bring the value of the encoder in line with the pulses/unit value specified in the Axes/Motors tab. Larger numbers allow to reduce the error. For example, if the ratio between the Axes/Motors value and the encoder pulse/unit value is 3.5, then the multiplication value (Mul) can be set to 7, while Div can be set to 1 (//2^1 =2, 7/2 = 3.5//).
