Simultaneous recording before machining of the workpiece
Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you can graphically display the execution of
the program on the screen to monitor the result of the programming.
Software option
You require the option "Simultaneous recording (real-time simulation)" for the
simultaneous recording.
You can replace the programmed feedrate with a dry run feedrate to influence the speed of
execution and select the program test to disable axis motion.
If you would like to view the current program blocks again instead of the graphical display, you
can switch to the program view.
