Multi-Start Thread cutting in Conversational

Question: Can the 15L can handle multi-start thread cutting in conversational?
Answer: Yes
In this example I used a random piece of 5/8 AL stock and the 33144 OD threading tool in the 15L with a turret to create a double start thread.
To prove this out I setup two operations and adjusted the Lead Length value to get the appropriate number of thread starts.
Op1:

Op2:
Since I was working on a dual start I adjusted the Lead Length by 1/2 the thread pitch.
