The coolant types and pressure values displayed in the dialog are defined in the NC Preferences (for each coolant type that is checked ON in the preference and given a coolant name).
The coolant displayed in the parameter grid or elsewhere in the system, depends on the selection in the User Defined Coolant dialog, above.
If no coolant if defined, Coolant OFF is displayed.
If one coolant is defined, the coolant name is displayed.
If multiple coolants are defined, Multi is displayed.
For multiple cutters, you can set a different coolant for each cutter. In this case, the Coolant button displays See Cutters; clicking this opens the Cutters & Holders branch of the parameter grid, where the Coolant for each cutter may be defined.

).
This may occur if the Preference values are changed or if a template
with different settings is loaded.
The indication remains until the Coolant button is pressed or until the discrepancy is solved.
