Right again, as usual, I had W1 up and W2 down, after witching W2 to up I can now get encoder reading through the open loop test, I can also very the correct voltages and switching on the output pins. Still no movement though, I may have forgotten to check one of the limit switches. It'll take just a couple of minutes to recheck that wiring. I can't thank you enough for all the help you've been thus far. I feel like I've very close to having this setup all hashed out.

I fixed the limit switch, I had it wired NO and it needed to be NC. It's working now!

Just posting a quick update and big thank you for patiently answering my stupid questions. I've yet to map the ballscrews but tunning looks good to me anyway. I got it to a little better than .0002" which is good enough for the work I do. I read in one post on here that the best case scenario is 2 encoder pulses.Was wondering what you guys thought? Is it good or should I still keep tweaking?

I have the same machine and was wondering if you would share your info on the motor and drives. I have the 7i97t and trying to figure out where to start.
thanks
