Simulation

For classic lathes with main and counterspindle, up to two channels can be simultaneously
simulated.
You have the option of executing the programs together before the actual machining. In this
case, start, stop and reset - as well as the functions to control the program, act simultaneously
on all of the simulated channels.
Correction of the zero offsets for multi-channel data
If you use multi-channel data in the simulation, then the zero offsets are temporarily corrected
so that they match the blank and the spindle chuck data.
Preconditions
The function of the individual spindles and special axes, must be specified in the display
machine data set-up for the purpose.
Tool paths
Only the tool paths of the presently selected channel are displayed.

Note:
If a spindle has already been assigned to the marked block, you cannot
assign any spindle to the newly created block.
