Sets or request the status of the multi-tasking function (on or off). When multi-tasking is enabled (on), commands
such as FL (Feed to Length) or HW (Hand Wheel) do not block execution of subsequent commands in the queue
or program segment. This allows executing other type of operations, such as setting outputs (SO), while a move
is taking place.
