Z axis goes in the wrong direction, so after home-all

I have finally started to work with LinuxCNC
Tried using the Mach import feature in LinuxCNC but it didn't work very well for me, but I was fortunate enough to have both systems' monitors on the same shelf side by side which resulted in a nearly working LinuxCNC system.

The LinuxCNC system is able to run the home-all routine, but I find that the Z axis goes in the wrong direction, so after home-all I need to enter a positive value (G0 Z10) to get the tool to move towards the workpiece.
This is wrong in my mind, as it should be a negative value like: G0 Z10.

I find that the X and Y axes work as I thought, it is only Z I have problems with.
What do you think is the error?

In your ini [AXIS_2] section change these lines:
Code:
SCALE = 400.0 . . . HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 1.500000 HOME_LATCH_VEL = 1.250000

to
Code:
SCALE = -400.0 . . . HOME_SEARCH_VEL = -1.500000 HOME_LATCH_VEL = -1.250000

Will try soon, due to a stupid design of the computer box and that I was too eager in my screwing in the computer, a plastic thing on the hard disc broke.

Right now, the computer does not want to know about the hard disc.

Thanks for all the help so far.

Now is ‘Home all’ works as it should.
Do you usually change directly in the INI file or is the GUI wizard the best way?
THANKS for all the help.
