Thanks for the information. How do I get to the M6 macro? I am really lost when it comes to modifying any of the macros. Also is there any provision to use touch probing (for g54 etc.) or tool touch probing for tool measurement? Sorry for these basic questions but the only other control I ever used was a Centroid Acorn. Thanks again Mike.

M6 may be restricted in parameters, in this case any M6 call will cause alarm. The best way to use this system without ATC is correct your CAM Postprocessor.
Macro also depends of ATC installed, it can be set in parameters too. Usually it's O9101-O9110 files in C-disk. You can copy it to U-disk, or edit in system.
Any of this files have comments in their header. For example, mine have:
---
O9101;//Row knife tool library (change the program name to O9101 when using it)

//Use ladder diagram No. 1 (Z-axis tool loading is determined by #950-#973)
//This program can be modified for tool rows on different axes (Y-axis mobile tool loading)
G65H81P50Q#1004R1;//G54.4=1 Does not use the tool magazine function, does not perform tool change
G65H81P50Q#1003R1;//G54.3=1 Command tool is equal to the main tool does not perform tool change
G69G50G15G80G40G49;//Cancel all compensations
M05;//Main shaft off
M09;//Cooling off
M50;//Automatic tool change starts
---
etc...
As you can see, it also depends of active ladder.
Current ladder you may see by pressing PLC-F1
Tool length measurement is accessible by pressing OFFSET-F4
