on the MCM is pressed, the cut will resume from this point.

of the software this button will cause different actions:

torch and start the cut.
b. Cut stopped and machine at the starting point (Play Icon):

c. Machine and software currently cutting (Pause Icon):

d. Machine and software paused (Play Icon):
 The machine will go to the point at which the cut will start again and prompt the
user to turn on the torch and start the cut.
