If you input your steps/revolution & leadscrew pitch into the wizard you will be pretty close.
Follow that up by setting your lash & ballscrew compensation. This can be done with a glass scale & DRO for fine tuning.
Allan had a very good video on YouTube on this topic.

Michael

Rafi, Keith gave you what you needed.
What model Leadshine drives are you using.please?
Please post a screenshot of your Wizard Axis tab. You can use the Windows snipping tool.

Rafi,

Please provide the model number of your drive.
