Post Variables and API Reference Documents

All post variables and API functions for Mill, Lathe, and Mill Turn jobs are listed in a single unified document to help make it easier to find information in the reference documents. Some variables or functions may be unique to a specific job type, and some are shared between them, so they are all listing in a single document for these job types.

 

In the reference document, the functions are grouped into similar categories to make it easier to navigate the topic. You can use the links at the top of the document to help you navigate the reference.
