6.2 Graphic simulation
To check for errors, the execution of part programs can be graphically simulated on the basis of a
programmed blank form. It is possible to choose between three different graphics display modes.
The graphics display on the VDU screen can be altered by machine parameters.
The following alterations are possible:
The 3-plane display mode can be produced according to either European or American convention.
Preferred European
Preferred American
Example:
The coordinate system can be rotated by +90° in the machining plane
This is useful when, for instance, the Y axis is fixed as the tool axis.
