Generating a tool usage file
Depending on the setting in the MOD menu, you have the following
options for generating the tool usage file:
Simulate the complete NC program in the
Test Run
operating
mode
Run the complete NC program in the
Program Run, Full
Sequence/Single Block
operating modes
In the
Test Run
operating mode, press the

The tool usage file generated is in the same directory as the NC
program. It contains the following information:
