30	Turret type	0=Indexing 1=ATC	Turn
31	Index time per station	Value	Mill+Turn
32	Move to ToolChange & Home Pivot	0=about tip 1=about pivot point	Turn

These parameters provide information on a specific turret (one line per turret).

Here are example MT lines:

MT=Upper Turret,10,200,0,300,500,500,1000,-500,-500,-100,2000,1000,10

MT=Lower Turret,10,-200,0,300,-200,0,300,500,500,1000,-500,-500,-100,1000,200,5

So, from the example above, the first MT line has the turret name "Upper Turret", 10 stations, and so on.

For machines with multiple turrets on one slide, also see Macro 15 Toolchange.
