Under the conc rebar parameters there is a section that is Legs per Stirrup. all the help menue says is "Use the Legs per Stirrup column to enter the specific information about how may legs (1 to 6) each of your shear ties is expected to have." Is there a diagram showing what a leg is?

No, there is no diagram in the help file to describe this.  The concept is fairly simple though.  

Most of the time, you will have a single closed hoop which encircles your flexural reinforement.  This has two legs. One on each side, right?

Let's say you have 3 or more flexural bars top and bottom. You might want to drop another shear tie at one of the middle bar to add extra shear capacity.  This would then give you three legs in your shear tie set.
