Why not take a look at the instruction of machine or contact with the manufacturer for help since each type of machine has its own characteristics.
Wish it works.

Bernard - Jazz asked for screenshots from your Mach3 settings pages a day or so ago. This is the way forward for you.

Ports&Pins - "Output Signals" and "Spindle Setup" are the main for the spindle. Also worth asking if you already have manual control of the spindle (rotary speed control or similar) as there's an implication there on re-programming the spindle controller.

Expect at some point to be asked for a photo of the board that the PC plugs into on the CNC controller box - the reason for that question will be to try to understand the pin allocated to the spindle controller (probably 2 pins - on/off and PWM-speed control).

Of course, any text from the installation instructions may be useful - we understand these can take some interpretation from a chinese source even if someone professes to know what they're doing.

Bernard,
You need to make 10 posts before you can upload pictures, it's an anti-spam precaution. Just add an encouraging post to everybody else's threads and you'll soon get there!
