+*Use the '''Test''' button to perform a backlash test with your machine. This testing is done on each Dragon A400 machine before it leaves the Bend-Tech facility. In the case that the user loses these settings, they should refer to their Factory Calibrated Machine settings to replace these value fields with the original values. In the case that additional backlash testing becomes necessary, this series of tests will attempt to move the selected axis back and forth very quickly at the specified amount. The goal is to find the minimum value that will cause the axis to actually move (not vibrate).

The mark can then be used as a guide after bending so the user can either use a notcher or hand torch to apply the cut.
