If I were going to use the Gauge functions, I would want some kind of "real time" external input for the guage to read. I have not researched how that would happen.
Anyways, having said that, would I be out of line to suggest that you simply use a Display to show the value of "s"(spindle rpm command value)? This value is of necessity being pulled right out of your nc code, so I can't see the need to monitor it unless there is some way in which "s" is being altered which causes it not to be known at any given moment.
Even if you are using a spindle override switch, this could have its own logic built into the switch event to trigger a new updated guage display, without actually having the gauge update running continuously in the timer file.
