8.2 Simulation prior to machining of the workpiece
Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you have the option of performing a quick run-
through in order to graphically display how the program will be executed. This provides a simple
way of checking the result of the programming.
Feedrate override
The rotary switch (override) on the control panel only influences the functions of the "Machine"
operating area.
Press the "Program control" softkey to change the simulation feedrate. You can select the
simulation feedrate in the range of 0 - 120%.
