Sounds like the resolution of the scale has been altered but don't have that model to confirm. Had that on another forum a few weeks ago but their decimal point only moved one place.

Also in the video you say you are going to move the table one inch but you say you are going to turn the handwheel once? I would expect 10 turns on an imperial machine and 12.7 turns on a metric machine.

Hi Wayne

I have a dro the same as yours and a manual i can make a copy and send it to you or i could get one of lads to email it to you pm me an address or email it does go on about setting parameter settings so you might have hit a wrong button

Like Jason, I think the resolution has been set wrong, ie a mismatch between the scale and the display. Wayne's unit may be showing actual scale counts rather than converting them to inches or mm.

The DRO has to be told what the resolution of the connected scale is. To do this it has a hidden set-up function and the problem is finding out how to activate it. I hope Geoff's manual will explain! Various methods: button on the back, or a computer connected via a USB port, but more likely a particular button on the front panel is pressed at the right moment whilst the unit is powering up.

This video is for a different unit, but it shows a typical set-up approach used by many electronic displays, not just DROs.

M-DRO seem to be one of those pesky vendors who fail to publish manuals on the web. They do have a nice line in videos (see above), but Wayne's question is hard to answer without the proper documentation.
