Mike -
I have not heard that there is a parameter per say. It more it like an option from the dealer of the Machine Tool Builder. The machine will typically have an TAPE MODE switch or button on the control. If not, then you did not get the machine with this feature. Kind of like asking for SUN ROOF in your car, deal might have it already installed or you can go back and have them add it for a NICE PRICE...$$$
