But as you have glass scales then it seems like it ought to be very simple in your case. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini_config.html#_axis_lt_num_gt_section_a_id_sub_axis_section_a You need to specify a COMP_FILE and COMP_FILE_TYPE in the INI file. You can choose to specify an absolute or relative file (that's the FILE_TYPE) I think what you need to do in your case is switch to machine coordinate view (#, or use the menu if you don't have a #, or Linux hasn't found it) Then G0 X0 and manually push the axis to the end of backlash (unless your config allows you to approach zero from the other side). First line in the comp file is now 0,0,? Then just run up the table, G0 X10, note the reading and make a comp file entry of 10,9.92, and so on to the end of travel, then come back the other way, filling in the third column. Or have I misunderstood the question? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
