    Default Z axis - can't get homing direction correct? - Got it!

    I'm setting up Mach3 for the first time. When I hit Ref All Home, the Z axis homes at the top of travel, but then downward travel is in the plus direction. My understanding is that down should be minus. If I reverse the direction in config, or switch motor leads, then the travel direction become correct, but the Z tries to home at the bottom of the travel, where it would slam into the table. Am I missing something somewhere?

    Edit:
    Nevermind, I got it. It was in the manual, had to reverse home in config. Whew, this has been a humbling,but educational experience!
