4.3.3. Read / write parameter spindle pitch (scaling factor), command „c“ (63h)
This command is utilized to read or write the scaling factor of the spindle pitch within the range from
0,0000001...9,9999999. The decimal point is not transmitted.
How to calculate the scaling factor:
Resolution per turn: 23,04 mm
Spindle pitch: 4,00 mm
Spindle pitch 4,00
Scaling factor = ───────────────── = ───── = 0,1736111
Resolution per turn 23,04
Example 1: Read scaling factor (scaling factor = 1,000000)

4.3.4. Read / write parameter measuring unit, command „i“ (69h)
The command is to read or write the measuring unit in mm or inches.
Data = 0 (30h) = mm
Data = 1 (31h) = inch
