Fanuc 15MF VMC turn table

Steve (2) from Wisconsin -

I am programming a Monarch RTB-X VMC with C-axis turn table and a Fanuc 15MF control. When indicating a part in table must turn several times. When finished command C0 table to home position it wants to rotate back as many times as it was jogged passed 0, sometimes a distance of 2000 deg. Other then commanding each point during set up C90, C180, C270(etc.) is there a way to avoid this?? Also when programming around the part doing a bolt pattern start at C0 and work around to C350 as example. When command C0 it rotates back around -350deg to reach 0 instead of shortest distance +10deg would be C0. Please advise.

Thanks for the help!!

No worries guys I found the settings. FYI Parameter 1007 bit 5 will rotate the table in the direction that minimizes the movement regardless of + or -. And Parameter 1008 bit 0 will not stack up the rotation above 360 deg. when jogging the the table around past 360 allowing the homing of the C-axis to be less then 1 revolution.
