Trevor, it took me several tries to get mine figured out. It seemed to work just the opposite of the way I expected it to. It turns out I had my scales set to read in the wrong direction at first. 
Once I corrected that my next hurtle was figuring out where the correct starting point was. I assumed it would be the 12:00 position as a default. Again I was wrong, as the default on my DRO is at the 3:00 position.
Yours may be different. My point being... try doing a few dry runs with a piece of paper on the table and a Sharpie in the drill chuck. Just bring the quill down to 'spot' your pattern on paper to check to see if it comes out right. When it does all of a sudden you will 'get it' and it will be dead simple to do after that. At least that's how it happened for me.
