6.4.1 Program simulation
The graphic window shows the program selected at the editing window and its name
appears at the bottom center of the screen.
The program simulation procedure is the following:
1. Choose the type of graphic representation, its dimensions and the point of view.
This data may also be modified during the simulation of the program.
2. Activate the desired simulation options using the icon menu.
3. Press the START icon to start the simulation. The simulation may be interrupted
with the STOP icon or canceled with the RESET icon.
The simulation of the program starts at the first block of the program and ends after
executing one of the end-of-program functions "M02" or "M30". As an option, it is
possible to define the first and last blocks of the simulation. See
"6.6 Program
window" on page 126.
"Single block" mode of simulation.
If the –single block– mode is active, program execution will interrupted at the end of
each block; the [START] icon must be pressed again to continue.
Simulation options
The available simulation options are accessed from the icon menu. Pressing the icon
displays a window that shows the following options.
Program selected for simulation.
START STOP RESET
The –single block– mode is selected from the icon menu and may be selected before
or while simulating the program.
Tool radius compensation
It activates or cancels tool radius compensation to simulate the program.
Tool radius compensation being off, the simulation will ignore the programmed tool
radius compensation.
