1000 pulse per rev limit?

Hey all. I have dropped it to 800 so it works but I would like a higher resolution. I'm just wondering how I can get 1600 plus per rev in linux cnc so I can have .0001" per step

Thanks in advance. 

It always depends on the speed (rpm) and the hardware you are using. You should describe what you have in more detail.

When you start talking tenths, you have to start looking an thermal expansion.

In the pncconf it just wont let me enter more then 1000 just running standard 200 pulse per rev closed loop steppers. My issue isnt really a hardware thing though I just cant enter more the 1000.

Yes this is true dont know what that has to do with hitting a software limmit? This isnt a router or plasma table being able to move tenths is going to be important.
