MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS NOT ALLOWED
Multiple functions are not allowed.
MULTIPLE SPINDLE CONFIGURATION ERROR
Each multiple spindle must have a servo board identified in AMP to indicate to which board the
spindle is connected. The spindle must be included in the number-of-motors AMP parameter for
the board the spindle is on.
MUST ASSIGN TOOL NUMBER FIRST
In random tool, an attempt was made to customize a tool before the tool number was assigned.
MUST BE IN (AUTO)
