⌨Format and notes

S_ M03

Writing S alone does not rotate the spindle. It starts rotating with M03/M04 (Mitsubishi material)
Most M-codes are assigned by the machine builder (Siemens ISO: M00–M89 are defined by the machine tool builder). Always check the machine's operator's manual

The meaning shown agrees in at least two sources (agreement confirmed). Explanations are written in our own words.
