Running a Program

Chapter 7

7-20

To disable QuickCheck with or without graphics, press the

{STOP CHECK}

softkey.

CAUTION: Note that when a program is run during quick

check mode, the control performs all coordinate system offset

operations. This means that changes to the coordinate systems

or coordinate offset tables are made (G10 blocks, changes to

G92 and G52 offsets, and changes to the active work coordinate

systems G54-G59.9). All of these changes are discarded at any

termination of QuickCheck. The pre-QuickCheck values are

restored when the

{STOP CHECK}

softkey is pressed. Note that

program changes to the active offset or tool offset tables are

not made in QuickCheck mode.

When you activate AXIS INHIBIT, the control can execute a part program
without moving specified axes. The control simulates axis motion by

updating the axis location and feedrate displays, using the commanded

feedrates, acceleration, and deceleration. If graphics are being used the

tool paths of any inhibited axis are still drawn on the graphics screen.

The program is executed in approximately the same amount of time as it

would be in automatic mode, even though some or all axes may not move.

You can use the axis inhibit feature in conjunction with Dry Run.

WARNING: When testing a program using Axis Inhibit the

control still recognizes and executes M-, B-, S-, and T-codes.

To ignore M-, B-, S-, and T-codes, execute Axis inhibit in

conjunction with miscellaneous function lock. See page 7-2.

You can activate AXIS INHIBIT to inhibit motion of any or all of the axes

depending on the configuration determined by your system installer. This

includes jogging moves. When axis motion has been inhibited for a single

axis, the remaining axes still execute normally and the axis location display

is updated as if axis motion were occurring on all axes.

WARNING: Axes not selected for axis inhibit move as they

would if the program were executed in automatic mode.
