I am running a Multus B300w and all is operating great. We run unattended at night and I just received all my backup tooling, so now Im gonna try and add tool life management to the deal. The book is pretty vague in its procedure for programming tool call up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(1) does the offset group match the tool group or is the value in the OG=the tool #?

(2) What is the programming procedure for calling the proper tool?

(3) Can I still stage my tools when using Tool Life Management?

(4) Any special parameters that need or should be set?

Any help or programming examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for all your help.
