Configure axes to move in the correct direction: It is important to understand that correct servo motor direction is
determined by the motion of the tool relative to the part. This is not necessarily the same as the motion of the table.
More information on the following procedure is also covered in Technical Bulletin 137, which can be found here:

On an axis where the table moves while the tool remains stationary, axis motion is opposite tool motion. In the figure
below, if the table is moving to the left, in the -X direction, the tool is moving in the +X direction, it is going to the right
relative to the table. Therefore, a positive X movement should move the table to the left.
For axes that move the tool, axis motion is the same as the tool motion. In the figure below, if the tool moves up, it is
moving in the +Z direction. Therefore, a +Z movement should move the tool up.
