[Emc-users] estop writes to toolchange pin out? more testing

I have done more testing and found that when I put the machine in estop it jumps to the next line of code to be executed. Then when I bring it out of estop and push the machine on button it takes off to the next instruction and not finishing the previous line of code,it could be a rapid move!
