    It depend on what kind of Post you are using and What kind of Tool Information you want to output. If you used SPost, it is easy!
    You just need to edit your Surfcam.pst and add the -toolinfo in the Command line

    Like these:
    PostItem DMC-64V 635V TNC530 ISO
    Status DMC-64V TNC530 ISO
    Command "C:\SURFCAM\Velocity3\INC2APT" -op -toolinfo -I "%p%n" -O "%p%N.apt"
    ChDir "C:\SURFCAM\Velocity3\SPOST"
    Delete "%p%N.I"
    Command "C:\SURFCAM\Velocity3\SPOST\SPOSTM" "%p%N.apt" 3187 "%p%N.I"
    Task "C:\SURFCAM\Velocity3\Editnc\editnc" "%p%N.I"
