Up until a few weeks ago I was using the analogue out from the IP-S to control the spindle on the small lathe, I have since changed it over to Step/Dir spindle. The only reason I changed was my servo drives need +/- 10v control so I had to make up a relay board to invert the signals for direction change, with Step/Dir I dont need that. The analogue signal however worked very well and was very accurate.
The CSMIO/IP-S manual details the steps you need to take to get the spindle working via the analogue outs, you may also have to choose the setting as shown in the pic below, I have circled in red.
