5.6.2.
Modifying Run Settings
The settings in the Run Settings window specify how the program will run.
The Run Settings window is accessed by clicking
Run Settings
on the Verify Program window.
The settings available in this window are described below.
Info Table: Run Settings Window
Single Step
Allows you to run the program one line at a time, pausing after each line is executed. (Click
the Resume button
to continue program operation.)
Optional Skip
Allows you to execute or ignore any optional skips (M00) you have embedded in the NC
program.
Optional Stop
Allows you to execute or ignore any optional stops (M01) you have embedded in the NC
program.
Enable Subprograms
Must be checked if the program uses subprograms. If this option is disabled, M98 (Call to
subprogram) commands generate an error.
Arc Centers
Incremental
Specifies the Fanuc mode as the default mode for programming arc centers, in which arc
centers are always incremental.
When this box is unchecked, the default mode is EIA-274, in which arc centers follow the
general programming mode: absolute when the mode is absolute, and incremental when
the mode is incremental.
To override the default, place the Incremental Arc Centers (%) or Absolute Arc Centers ($)
code in the first line of the NC file.
Treat Warnings as
Errors
When this item is checked, any warning will halt the program, resulting in a program stop.
When motion is stopped, all outputs are turned off.
This command is used for special applications, such as laser welding, where you do not
want any unexpected pauses in the program execution.
Restore Unit Mode
When Done
Restores the original unit mode (inches or metric) regardless of the units specified in the
current NC program.
Check this box if you normally work in one unit mode (inch or metric) but would like to run
a program in another mode without disrupting your default settings.
Verify While Running
When this box is checked, the Verify window will display the program verification while the
program is running.
