MCSR Changes to Status Bits:
Status Bits provide a means for monitoring the progress of the motion instruction.
There are three types of Status bits that provide pertinent information. They are:
Axis Status bits, Coordinate System Status bits, and Coordinate Motion Status
bits. When the MCS instruction initiates, the status bits undergo the following
changes.
