DRO On Lathe

[EdK]

I got a response from the tech guy and he said my cross slide scale should count positive as I move it towards me, which makes sense. They have a PDF file available on how to change it so it's reading properly. Now I'm wondering if my scales have always read in the wrong directions. I'd never know since this is my first lathe with a DRO. So you guys with DROs on your lathe, does the count go down when you bring the carriage towards the head stock and does your count go down when you move the cross slide towards the rear of the lathe?

Currently the count goes down as I move the carriage towards the head stock but the count goes up as I move the cross slide towards the rear of the lathe. My cross slide seems to be wrong.
