2.2.1.3 Displaying Automatic Operation Program
(1)
Displaying the operation program during automatic operation
During memory or MDI operation, up to four blocks of the specified program are displayed. The block
being executed or the completed block will display at the top line.
(2) Displaying the operation program after SEARCH
In operation program display immediately after SEARCH, the block for which the search command is
issued is the command program to be executed next.
(3) Displaying the operation program at branch to or at return from subprogram
When a branch command (M98) block is executed, the subprogram is immediately displayed. When a
return command (M99) block is executed, the main program is immediately displayed.
(4) Difference between one block of machining program and one execution block
1) A command block containing an EOB only or a command program consisting of only a comment
statement is not regarded as an execution block but is processed together with the following
command program.
2) A command block such as a variable command that contains neither move nor MSTB command is
not regarded as an execution block but is processed together with the next block that contains a
move or MSTB command.
(Note) When a parameter "MACRO SINGLE" is ON, a variable command block is regarded as an
execution block.
