Running a Program
Chapter 7
7-23
Automatic mode is the normal operating mode of the control. A program
that is run in the automatic mode is executed with all of the axes active and
all of the programmed feedrates active. Graphics is also available as
discussed in chapter 8.
To select the automatic mode, place <MODE SELECT> (on the MTB
panel) in the AUTO position. If not equipped with a mode select switch,
use the {FRONT PANEL} softkey.
Automatic mode is the default mode whenever AUTO appears on the Main
Menu screen and is always active unless one of the program checking
modes has been selected.
