 ====Pulse Generator control for Spindle====
-It is possible to control the spindle speed through the pulse generator.
+It is possible to control the spindle speed through the pulse generator. This is done through the independent pulse generator implemented in myCNC, which can be "mixed into" the B axis channel. An independent generator is controlled by writing values to the global variables 8130-8133, as described in the table at the beginning of this page (Register Name / Description table).
-The independent pulse generator implemented in myCNC can be "mixed into" the B axis channel.
+When using the GUI elements (buttons, input lines, etc.) it is convenient (and necessary) to use the multiplier and frequency registers when setting the generator frequency (what you see is NOT what you get, as the multipliers convert the human-read values into real machine values). For example, when the operator changes the value of register #8133 (the preset generator frequency), myCNC software will automatically recalculate the value of this preset frequency  while taking into account the preset multiplier and will send this data to the controller.
