Wait marks can also be used within blocks.
● Closed block
● Opened block
Determining program runtimes
After a simulation, the required processing time for the program blocks is displayed in the
editor. For multi-channel programs, the delay time is displayed at the wait points.
Spindle transfer between the channels
If you use the spindles alternating in several channels (e.g. main and counterspindle), then it
may be necessary to exit the active plane "Face C" (TRANSMIT) or "Peripheral C"
(TRACYL):
