<Single block function>
The single block function executes a program block by block in the automatic mode.
This function is used to check a program block by block in test cutting, etc.
A "block" refers to one line of the program, ending with the EOB code (;), displayed on the
screen.
Before starting mass production, always check the program and perform test cutting in
the single block mode. If you fail to do this the workpiece could collide with the cutting
tool during machining, damaging the machine. Machining defects could also be
caused.
<When the single block function is valid>
When the
(ST) switch is pressed after pressing the single block switch
and the indicator
in the switch is lit, the machine stops after the execution of one block of commands.
To execute the next block of commands, press the
(ST) switch again.
