Clean up pass on Hardinge Gt

I have a Hardinge Gt and no documentation on doing a clean up pass on threading.
Looked over my notes when I took classes on the machine and found nothing in the manual or notes.
The threading routine I am using is a G76 format

T15X.827(3/4-16)
Z.25S1400
G76P010055Q00150R.0
G76X.6734Z-.25P03834Q01106F.0625
G98F300.Z.5

I read the instructions again and think that this would give me a one pass thread but not sure if it will track the same:

T15X.827(3/4-16)
Z.25S1400
G76P010055Q00150R.0
G76X.6734Z-.25P03834Q03834F.0625
G98F300.Z.5

Changed the Q word in the execution line to reflect the single depth divided by the square route of desired number of passes. Will this track the same?
I am thinking of making one part in aluminum to see if this works. The material is ETD150 and have had a little trouble with burrs on the threads so I am wanting to reprofile then take this last pass to clean up.
 
yes what you have should work and track correctly assuming the spindle speed and z start points are the same, however you may get two passes as the FANUC must always take one spring pass
 
Thanks, you are correct, I got 2 passes, they did track correctly. I have a new type of insert will reduce the passes on the actual threading.
 
This GT has a Fanuc 18T control.
On this G76 Parameter entry

G76PXX0055Q00150R.0
Where the XXs are sets the number of spring passes, my notes from class show 01 to 99 as possible entries there. What happens if you put 00 for no spring passes? Would I get no passes or an error?

The first time I ran these I used a C2 insert and it got dull quickly. I went to the present 12 passes to make the insert live a little. With a better insert I am would like to try 10 passes and one clean up pass after deburring with the profiler. Has anyone put 00 in that parameter line?
 
Well Tom,
You were right the Fanuc has to take a spring pass even if you enter 00 in the P word parameter line.
At least it did not go berserk and crash.
