Option File Generator HelpSpindle Codes
Check this box if you want to output the SPINDL speed number specified in the part program. Do not check this box if you want to output a spindle speed code.
Checking this box will allow you to specify direct RPM values on the Direct RPM Speeds tab. Leaving this box unchecked will cause the option file generator to display a tab called Ranges. On this tab, there will be a list of ranges matching the number in the 'Number of spindle ranges' field on the main tab. On this additional tab, the user will be given the opportunity to specify the number of spindle codes for a range as well as the speed/code relationship.
Enter the number of spindle ranges required for the machine.
The postprocessor defaults the spindle speed range to the value you enter here. This default establishes the range to select only if there is no RANGE,n couplet on the SPINDL command. The RANGE used by the SPINDL command is modal; you need not enter it unless you need to change it. Also see the postprocessor command SPINDL
Some machines require the S-code for spindle to be output with the XYZ codes of the motion block. By setting the option below, the post will combine the S-code data with XYZ if possible.
