Switching functions (M functions)

Whether switching functions are triggered automatically or must be
commanded manually depends on your specific machine.
MANUALplus generates all switching functions that are necessary for
running a cycle.

The direction of spindle rotation must be defined in the tool
parameters. Using the tool parameters, the cycles generate spindle
trigger functions (M3 or M4).
