Wachendorf encoder?

Hello,

I have a Little wabeco D 6000 lathe with mach3 and a wachendorf encoder on the spindel.
Problem is ,I do Not be able to make a thread, so my question is, does mach3 support this type of Encoder or or is to complex.

Thanks

Wachendorf encoders come in incremental and absolute.
Incremental are the most common, especially for DIY, Absolute requires a compatible decoder system.
