MesCT For Analog Servos

I'm using MesaCT to build a new configuration for a 3 axis mill with DMM servos in Analog mode.
I get the message that "Drive x Scale must not be blank". Since scale is defined as "the number of pules to move one user unit", should this value be 0 for analog servos?
Thanks,
Skylor

Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but there are several topics here discussing the DMM servos inability to run in analog mode due to very high latency of encoder feedback.
Use them in Position mode (step/dir) as this seems to work a bit better from what i read, although i never used them and after seeing how they handled the issue, i never will.

So if I were to use a different brand of analog servo, what value should the Drive scale be set to?

There is no "drive.x.scale" that i know of, so what scale are you talking about?
Either way, please do not assume stuff and set values at random, that is always painful and long winded resulting in frustration.
PncConf does a very good job of having reasonable default values.
