2.3.7 Contour test

Description of functions
A dry run is possible to ensure measurements can safely be performed on the
machine. The machine operator has the option of executing a dry run with reduced
velocity before beginning the test run configured to a specific type. This allows the
operator to test for safety path motions (contour monitoring) of the machine axes to
avoid collisions, etc.
