4.Choose Before or After from the Before/After Move pull-down menu. If you choose Before and there is a machine tool move command on the same program line as the M-Code, the M-code will be executed before the move. If you chose After, the M-code will be executed after the move.

5.In the Delay text box, enter the amount of delay between execution of the M-Code and execution of the next G-Code command. For example, if your spindle motor takes about 3 seconds to get to full speed, this value should be at least 3. For safety reasons, the maximum value for this delay is 5 seconds.

Motor Signal Settings

Anaheim Automation’s LC software provides four signals for step motor drivers: step, direction, park and enable. Different manufacturers have different requirements for the polarity and timing of these signals. The LC software provides the flexibility to tailor the motor signals to run most drivers.
