7. Set the Backlash in units (mm/inch) for each axis. Backlash is the value that allows for some unexpected play in the machine due to clearance or looseness of mechanical parts. When the controller sends a movement command to the motor, the motor may turn briefly before any actual axis movement begins. That turn is defined as backlash, and can be accounted for in this setting. | 7. Set the Backlash in units (mm/inch) for each axis.
