SELF-TEACHING MANUAL

·TC· Option

OPERATIONS OR CYCLES.

4.3.2 Simulating an operation or cycle.

Simulation may be used to check the tool paths on the screen.

Other useful keys are.

The CNC shows the graphic simulation window and its associated softkey menu. To access the various functions,
use the keys [F1] through [F7].

To start the simulation, press the [START] key.

The simulation speed may be varied with the Feedrate Override switch.

Interrupt the simulation.

If the simulation is interrupted, it resumes it.

If the simulation is interrupted, it cancels it definitely.

Any of these two keys quits the simulation mode.
