Creating a manual pause

I have to measure a 1-72 thread location. I want to do this by putting a 1-72 Go Member in the threaded hole and this measure it. I know how to reverse the inspection direction and to move the location of the points to be inspected.

I need to create a manual pause in my inspection program so an operator can insert the Go Member. I also want to add a line statement to direct the operator to insert the Go Member. I have version 2022.2. How can I do this?
