Testing a program

When testing a program, the system can interrupt the machining of the workpiece after each
program block, which triggers a movement or auxiliary function on the machine. In this way,
you can control the machining result block-by-block during the initial execution of a program
on the machine.
Note
Settings for the automatic mode
Rapid traverse reduction and dry run feed rate are available to run-in or to test a program.
