They could of kept it to a standard though by modifying the ( M6 ) if it did not do what they wanted, which would of been a better choice of codes to use
As an example Haas they have the ( M6 ) It Stops the Spindle, Stops the Coolant, Moves the Z axis to the Tool Change Position, and Orients the spindle for the Tool Change Keeps it simple and is a standard code that everyone uses
