My lathe has a nice encoder (not sure how many pulses per rev). I
weird it and I can the pulse train as the spindle turns. Is there a
way to connect this encoder for threading? I have not been able to
find a place in the program to configure the Timing pulse, or
anything to indicate the number of pulses per rev.
Thanks,
Arturo Duncan

Hi John:
I probably shouldn't mention this as it could muddy the water,
but if you
drop a DRO #66 onto a screen, it can be used for the entrance
angle of a
thread. Its value is from 0 - 360 degrees, so just by changing
that value
and using the same code, you can get multi-turn threads... (Just
an
option..)
