scales are measured in mm per pulse, acorn needs pulses per inch/mm. The formula for inches is 25.4/Resolution in mm. in the case of the akm1 it would be 25.4/.001=25400. A formula for Metric would be 1/Resolution in mm. in the case of the akm1 1/.001 = 1000. Using an incorrect number will work on t...
