The Master User Units/Counts value would be entered as shown in Figure 16-9

This tells the module the correct scaling to use when it runs motion programs. However, the CAM
Editor also needs to know the correct scaling to perform the proper transformations from user units
to counts. For our example, we need to enter this data into any CAM profiles we plan to run on
these axes. An example is shown in Figure 16-10.

It is recommended that the scaling operations just discussed be performed prior to programming
any CAMs that do not have one-to-one scaling. The reason this is suggested is to avoid the need to
reenter data. The CAM editor displays the master/slave data in User Units. Therefore, if you do
not define your scaling and enter all the CAM data by default you have chosen 1 to 1 scaling.
