These signals are:

* 'Spindle Index' - Is a pulse that occurs once per revolution of the spindle.

* 'Spindle Phase A' - This is a pulse that occurs in multiple equally-spaced
locations as the spindle turns.

* 'Spindle Phase B (optional)' - This is a second pulse that occurs, but with
an offset from Spindle Phase A. The advantages to using both A and B are
direction sensing, increased noise immunity, and increased resolution.

wait for the spindle to reach the commanded speed before feed moves. Select this
option and set the 'close enough' scale.

* 'Speed Display Filter Gain' - Setting for adjusting the stability of the visual spindle speed display.

* 'Cycles per revolution' - The number of cycles of the 'Spindle A' signal
during one revolution of the spindle. This option is only enabled when an
input has been set to 'Spindle Phase A'

* 'Maximum speed in thread' - The maximum spindle speed used in threading.
For a high spindle RPM or a spindle encoder with high resolution, a low value
of 'BASE_PERIOD' is required.
