Synchronizing spindle speed changes on Okuma lathes

For Okuma lathes, the Program Start, Tool Change, and Segment Start formats must output a special sync code along with a change in spindle speeds.

A sample from a Segment Start format for an Okuma post is shown below:

<IF><CSS-ON><THEN
G96 S<CSS-SPEED><32>
<ENDIF>
<IFNOT><CSS-ON><THEN>
G97 S<CALC-SPEED><32>
<ENDIF>
<SPINDLE><COOLANT>{P<SYNC-SPEED>}
<EOB>
<MOTION> X<X-COORD> Z
<Z-COORD><EOB>
<ENDIF>
