Configurable Step Increments for MPG

I would like the ability to choose the step increments for the x1, x10 and x100 modes of my MPG. I think it would be interesting to be able to OPTIONALLY set these to values that line up well with the encoder resolution and pitch of your ball-screw.

Ex, my machine is 800 encoder counts per rev and a 5mm lead.

I would set this as the following

x1: 0.025mm which is (0.025/5)*800 = 4 steps
x10: 0.1mm which is (0.1/5)*800 = 16 steps
x100: 1mm which is (1/5)*800 = 160 steps

any thoughts?
