  1. Comment (includes message).
  2. Set feed rate mode (G93, G94 -inverse time or per minute).
  3. Set feed rate (F).
  4. Set spindle speed (S).
  5. Select tool (T)
  6. Change tool (M6)
  7. Spindle on or off (M3, M4, M5)
  8. Coolant on or off (M7, M8, M9)
  9. Enable or disable overrides (M48, M49)
  10. Dwell (G4)
  11. Set active plane (G17, G18, G19)
  12. Set length units (G20, G21)
  13. Cutter radius compensation on or off (G40, G41, G42)
  14. Cutter length compensation on or off (G43, G49)
  15. Coordinate system selection (G54, G55, G56, G57, G58, G59, G59.1, G59.2, G59.3)
  16. Set path control mode (G61, G61.1, G64)
  17. Set distance mode (G90, G91)
  18. Set retract mode (G98, G99)
  19. Home (G28, G30) or change coordinate system data (G10) or set axis offsets (G92, G92.1, G92.2, G94).
