Can Hickory control two spindles?

I'm looking at getting a Miyano lathe for the cost of gas to pick it up, it has a subspindle and live tooling on the turret (no Y axis), I know that Hickory has two analog outputs but looking through the manual it seems like the parameters are all describing *one* spindle. Slaving one spindle drive to the other might be a possibility but commanding them separately would be preferred.

PLC customization could get a command to the second spindle. If the subspindle is required to do CSS or threading, that may not be possible at this time.
