Defining Units
The Defining units page is where you select a particular position unit for a
physical axis, and to format displays of physical axis Position, Velocity,
Acceleration and Deceleration data. The displays you configure in this
page include the runtime display and the motion controller’s machine
setup and servo setup display menus.
To configure the Units page, make entries in the following fields:
Position Units
Type an engineering unit (inches, meters, mm, degrees or revolutions) and
not feedback counts to be used for measuring and programming all
motion-related values.
Position Units can be different for each axis, and should meet the needs of
your program. For example, you might select inches, meters or mm for a
linear axis, and revs or degrees for a rotary axis.

placeholder and a decimal point (.) to display fractional values.
Note: Position Display format can contain up to 10 digits.
Velocity Display Format
