Settings for the automatic mode

Before machining a workpiece, you can test the program in order to identify programming
errors at an early stage. Use the dry run feedrate for this purpose.
In addition, you have the option of additionally limiting the traversing speed for rapid traverse
so that when running-in a new program with rapid traverse, no undesirable high traversing
speeds occur.
Dry run feedrate
The feedrate defined here replaces the programmed feedrate during execution if you have
selected "DRY run feedrate" under program control.
Reduced rapid traverse
The value entered here reduces the rapid traverse to the entered percentage value if you
selected "RG0 reduced rapid traverse" under program control.
Recording machining times
To provide support when creating and optimizing a program, you have the option of displaying
the machining times.
