This version of the AR8 (B18 RichAuto) has a key labeled "Advance Setting" If pressed and drill down to [TOOL CHANGING] If you mash the key at TC the platform moves the gantry to home , stopping the spindle, Allowing for operator to manually change the tool. I assume you can re-zero the tool before hitting end. The platform then returns to origin and continues.
My question : Education on how to use this key function with multiple tools? Can this tool function be coded into the routine you are running? If so how? Examples of use would be great.

available.

This option, when selected will bring the router head to the HOME position for tool-changing. The controller will
display a prompt to press the OK button when finished.
This will return the Router head to the previous location.
This will not prompt for a Z-axis Tool Touch-Off. To avoid damage to the machine or job
material, the Z-0 point must be set before continuing.
