Optimize function

I have been trying to use the Optimize function to minimize an error function of 2 variables. The values for my 2 variables range from 1-15; however, i only want to consider minimum increments of 0.1 and i don't understand how to incorporate that into my opimize function code. Here is what i have been using so far.

optimize/A=0/x={5,5}/R={5,5}/XSA=xlimitwave2/s=1/T={5*10^(-5),10^(-8)} error1,nothing

I am not using simulated annealing. The XSA flag claims to be able to set a minimum step size but it does not work, as i have a print function that shows me the values it is using for the two variables. Does anyone know how i can specify the minimum and maximum step sizes with this multivariate optimization?
Here with IP7 the Optimize XSA flag says


only when used with simulated annealing
.

Why do you want to limit the step size?
