4.6 Spindle Set Up
There are many parameters that control the running of a spindle. During set up these parameters are
given default values. In some cases this is not enough. Therefore it is possible to change all parameters
with the Spindle Set Up form invoked by selecting the Spindle item in the Set Up menu or by double
clicking the spindle in the System Map.
The controls on the Spindle Set Up form is divided in several pages. Each of these is described in the
following subsections.
4.6.1 General page
The General page holds the most basic spindle parameters.
Use the Spindle Article No combo box to select the type of spindle to use. It will list the type name of all
spindle type files (extension .ttt) located in the directory SpindleType (a sub directory to the directory
where ToolsTalk PowerMACS is installed). It is necessary to have the same article number specified in
the setup as the actual hardware used.
