; The inch/metric setting is considered for the code carrier
; !! NOTICE: The settings described here are only
; relevant if the MD $MN_CONVERT_SCALING_SYSTEM=1 is set
; in the NC.
; If it is an old NC without an inch/metric conversion
; function, or if $MN_CONVERT_SCALING_SYSTEM=0,
; then the NC operates without inch/metric conversion. Therefore
; no conversions are carried out in relation to the code carrier
either.
; -1 = inch/metric is ignored (default). Data traffic
; between code carrier and NCK/HMI takes place without consideration
; of inch/metric Behavior as up to now.
; 0 = mm. In future all relevant data is written in mm
; to the code carrier.
; For future data transfers between the code carrier and NC
; this is taken into account accordingly.
; 1 = inch. In future all relevant data is written in inches
; to the code carrier.
; For future data transfers between the code carrier and NC
; this is taken into account accordingly.

; Tool status: If a tool is removed from the NCK and transferred
; to an "external" medium (tool cabinet, code carrier, SINCOM),
; then you can use the following screens to specify which
; tool status bits should be saved.
; Code carrier: Since the standard wkonvert.txt file has entered 1
byte
; for the tool status and a max. of 92 have been written to the code
carrier
; up to now, CODECARRIER_TOOLSTATE_MASK receives the
; default value 92.
; If the value for CODECARRIER_TOOLSTATE_MASK is expanded,
; then the size of the dialog variables T9 in wkonvert.txt
; has to be adapted accordingly.
