okuma control doesn't know what tool is in spindle - if tool 1 is in spindle and "T1M6" is called machine alarms -- macro is needed to check tool registry for tool in spindle before tool change then jump past tool change line if sp T# equalls called T# WHY CAN'T OKUMA AVOID THIS BY HARDCODING THIS FUNCTOIN INTO THE MACHINE'S FIRMWARE ? If anyone has a beeter alernative to coding macro before each toolchange PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
