Preparations
The process of creating an option file requires a comprehensive understanding of the machine tool and its control requirements. You will need to describe the details of what the machine control requires in order to operate properly. Following is a list of documents that are usually required to complete your option file:
Machine tool manual
Axis travel limits and (optional) home positions.
Axis feedrate limits
Spindle limits/ranges, etc.
Machine control and/or Programmer's manual
Machine preparatory and auxiliary codes
Address register formats/limits
Circular motion requirements, etc.
