Here is a bit of code from an old program with a tool change - it does appear to use G28

Does the value in N0737 then get stored somewhere else? I happen to have a print out of my old parameters, and also the parameters that are currently in there (coppied from an identical machine). Both 737 and 510 = 00000000 in both machines. Should I be expecting to see a non zero number in one of these if it is an offset?
511, 512 and 515 are different though - is there somewhere I can download a list of what each parameter is (or at least the commonly changed ones).
