Oversize (U) In the case of oversize tools, neighboring magazine locations (left and
right adjacent location) are only reserved alternately, i.e. you can only
insert the next tool in the next magazine location but one. (This can
also contain an oversize tool.)
Coded for fixed location (P) You can assign tools to a fixed location, i.e., the tool can only be used
in its present magazine location. After machining, the tool always
returns to its old magazine location.
