What is an option file?

An option file is a file created by the user via the Option File Generator. The file is read at postprocessor execution time. Upon reading the option file, the postprocessor assumes characteristics specified by the user for a specific machine tool/control combination. The characteristics include machine configuration, machine control register requirements (such as address assignments and format), preparatory code requirements to invoke specific functions, feedrate control functions and so forth.
