    Fanuc 32i magazine management

    We have a Fanuc 32i controller on a DMG mill. During a tool change I lost air pressure and had to relieve the arm. The tool that was in the spindle (T18) was put back in the magazine, however when my program calls up T18, nothing is put in the spindle. In my tool manager, its showing there is no T18 in the magazine, however its showing that T18 is in the spindle wait position 2. Does anyone know what this means and how to get rid of it?

    Be aware I am using a completely different machine with a 31i, but I can respecify the Head Tool (H) and Next Tool (N) via the Tool Management Screen (Custom1 Hard Key).

    This option only appears if everything is in Manual mode (ie the Control side, and in my case, the Magazine side also).

    I also recall these values being stored in some D parameter somewhere D452 or something like that, but have never had to do it that way thanks to the other method.
