During execution of a program, the workpiece is machined in
accordance with the programming on the machine.
After the program is started in automatic mode, workpiece machining
is performed automatically.
You must load the program in "Machine Auto" mode. Only then can
you start it. You can, however, stop the program at any time and then
resume execution later. Apart from this, you have the option of
graphically displaying the execution on the screen.
Once the program is loaded in "Machine Auto" mode, and "Automatic"
mode is also activated on the machine control panel, you can start the
program whatever your current operating area, even if you are not in
"Machine Auto" mode.
This start option must be enabled in a machine data code.
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
The following prerequisites must be met before executing a program:

The measuring system of the control is synchronized with the
machine.

A program created in ShopTurn is available.

The necessary tool offsets and work offsets have been entered.

The necessary safety interlocks implemented by the machine
manufacturer are activated.
Sequential control programs that you created in earlier versions of
ShopTurn can also be executed in your current version. Once an older
sequential control program has been executed in the current version
of ShopTurn, it is treated as a current ShopTurn program.
Press the softkey or the "Program" key.
The directory overview is displayed.
Place the cursor on the directory containing the program that you
want to select.
Press the "Input" or "Cursor right" key.
