Index Screen Degree Option

Purpose: This screen allows indexing the spindle for use in index work or other uses.

On this screen, the indexes are in Degrees.

1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , and 5 may each represent separate files, however the value of 1 is used by the CW and CCW indexing movements on the

• Synchronization Screen and the
• Reciprocation - Axis Screen

in either Divisions or Degrees, depending upon which is toggled.

Deg	Sets the divisions to degrees.
Div	Touch Div on the screen image to see the instructions for that approach. Used to set the indexing to divisions of a circle.
File	Touch the Filename field (shown as "INDEX_02") to see the details for using a file for indexing. Used to set the indexing to information to be fed from a user-created file.
Fixed	Sets the increments based on the Divisions setting.
Degrees	The number of degrees to index.
Index	This is the number of times the axis has been indexed. It is decremented each time the spindle is moved counter clockwise, and incremented when moved clockwise. Tapping on this does enable the user to reset the index; however that does not affect the position of the spindle.
