FRSU - Different settings

There is a bolt at the back bottom corner of the hub which has a cam on it, you turn the bolt and it adjust the toe using the cam.
Ok folks sorry for the silly questions. It turned out the guys at the garage have never done anything like this before on there brand new John bean laser system? Ok well I got snap of what we did on the rear baring in my mind we were trying to replicate the following settings 1 negative degree camber all round, 2mm toe in total rear (1mm each wheel) and 1mm toue out total front (0.5mm each wheel)
We typed in the generic factory Type R setup on their database to compare it to hence the green and the red I guess. So I believe the top 2 dials are camber which appears to be correct −1 degree good stuff, the problem was the toe. As you can see it appears to be measured in degrees as well, not mm. So the closest thing I could do is look at a degree to mm converter online which I could only find for 18 inch rims not 17 which was 0.08 as shown but this did not state if it was toe in or tow out? On the way home the steering seemed pretty unresponsive so I think it is the other was round. I think we toed it OUT instead of IN at the rear :/ ? On the front axle which I did not take a picture of again the top dials read −1 degree camber but for the toe I went with −0.04 on each wheel which I thought would be equivalent to to 0.5mm toe out on each wheel (total of 1mm) but I do not really know. Has anyone used these machines before and could tell me what the TOE settings on here should be?
As it was a friends garage he only charged me £100 for my MOT, alignment, change 4 tyres over and let me use his ramp all day to poly bush the front arms and change the ball joints plus he said to come back in two weeks to re-align if the settings we did today were slightly off as it was only fair as hadn’t really done a custom job like this before which I thought was kind. Yes in hindsight I should of just taken it to a specialist for this like TGM but I have a free alignment to correct everything in two weeks
