Candle Interface Introduction

1. 3D preview interface, hold the left mouse button, can rotate Angle, scroll the mouse wheel, can be enlarged, or reduced. If you cannot see anything, you need to change to a computer with support for OpenGL2.0 graphics cards.
2. Common operation button, the mouse icon on the above shows the specific function
3. Spindle ON/OFF. Because it is manual speed control, the software can only control the spindle on/off, and cannot perform software speed control, so the progress bar does not work
4. Step and Feed value E.g.: Step value=10 means moving distance is 10mm. Feed value=2000 means 2000mm/min
