Set the spindle pitch
ISDU
116 (numerator factor) and 117 (denominator factor) can be used to modify the instrument’s
spindle resolutions to any desired numerical value:
Number of increments per rotation = 400 ×
Denominator factor
Numerator factor
Both factors are set to a value of 400 by default, resulting in a resolution of 0.01 mm
at a spindle pitch of 4 mm.
The denominator factor is a simple way to set the spindle pitch and resolution.
The numerator factor is primarily used for setting “unlevel” resolutions.
Examples:
Spindle pitch

Note:
