XHC-HB04 MPG Pendant.

I just purchased one of these units to use on my machine. I'm running LinuxCNC and they do have a module for it and it works. However, I have a question to those of you who use it on Mach3.

Does Mach3 and the pendant work correctly when switch between Inch and mm units? By default, the unit powers up in mm mode, and only has 3 places after the decimal point. If you switch to Inch mode in Mach3, does it change to 4 places after the decimal point and loose the [mm] indicator on the pendant? If so, then maybe I can reverse engineer the codes needed to put the pendant into the proper mode and update the LinuxCNC module.

Thanks, Connor
