running a program. This is useful to track how many times the current
program has run and therefore how many parts have been completed.
Here, setting the parts counter, stopping or starting the Job Clock are
setup. The Job Clock will provide an estimate of time to machine the
part, provide a stop watch, parts counter, and overall Job time.
