Available from NCK software version: 597 110-01.
Format: Selection menu
Selection: TRUE
Interpreter stop before tool change
FALSE
No interpreter stop
Default: FALSE
Access: LEVEL3
Reaction: RUN
Example for tool life management: During a tool change, the control checks 
the tool life of the tool. If "Interpreter stop at tool change" is active, the pre-
interpretation is stopped and the actual usage time of the tool is taken into 
account. Without an interpreter stop, it is possible for some NC blocks to have 
been pre-interpreted but not yet performed. The usage time of the tool for 
these blocks is not taken into account during the tool change.
Tapping
Use MP_threadDwell to halt the NC program for several seconds during 
tapping. This function is usually used during the setup procedure.
