Testing a program
When testing a program, the system can interrupt the machining of the workpiece after each
program block, which triggers a movement or auxiliary function on the machine. In this way,
you can control the machining result block-by-block during the initial execution of a program
on the machine.
Note
Settings for the automatic mode
Rapid traverse reduction and dry run feed rate are available to run-in or to test a program.
Move by single block
In "Program control" you may select from among several types of block processing:
SB mode
SB1 Single block,
coarse
SB2 Data block
SB3 Single block,
fine
Precondition
A program must be selected for execution in "AUTO" or "MDA" mode.
