Plan View; Overview Of Display Modes - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 User Manual

Overview of display modes

The control displays the following soft keys in the Program Run and
Test Run modes of operation:
Display mode

Plan view

Projection in 3 planes
3-D view
Limitations during program run
A graphical representation of a running program is not possible if the
microprocessor of the TNC is already occupied with complicated
machining tasks or if large areas are being machined. Example:
Multipass milling over the entire blank form with a large tool. The TNC
interrupts the graphics and displays the text ERROR in the graphics
window. The machining process is continued, however.
Plan view
This is the fastest of the graphic display modes.
If your machine has a mouse, the status bar shows the
depth of any location on the workpiece when you move
the mouse pointer over it.
Press the soft key for plan view.
Regarding depth display, remember: The deeper the
surface, the darker the shade.
