BlockSkip being True indicates that specially marked NC program blocks are skipped.
DryRun being True indicates that a test run using with a dedicated axis feed is being performed.
OptionalStop being True indicates that the execution will stop at special machine commands.
TestMode being True indicates a test mode which enables execution of a program without physical axis movement. The machining process may be simulated during program execution.
SingleStep being True indicates if the NC channel operates in single block/single step mode.
