Simultaneous recording
6.1 Selecting the function "Simultaneous recording"
Pressing the HSK 1.7 "Simult. Record." opens the
simultaneous recording window.
Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you can graphically dis-
play the execution of the program on the screen to monitor the result of the
programming. You can replace the programmed feedrate with a dry run
feedrate to influence the speed of execution.
If you like to view the current program blocks again instead of the graphical
display, you can switch to the program view.
You can also use simultaneous recording during machining of a workpiece.
This helps if the view towards the inside of the cabin is obstructed by cool-
ant. In each different view of the "Simultaneous recording" window you can
adjust the view by using the blue cursor keys and zoom in or out by using
the plus ("+") and minus ("-") keys on the keyboard.
The traversing paths of the tool in the "Simultaneous recording window are
displayed in different colours: red for rapid traverse and green for feed mo-
tion.
The following softkeys, each representing a different view on the simulated
workpiece, are available on the vertical softkey bars.
