3.8 Testing a program
To prevent incorrect machining of the workpiece during the first pass
of the program on the machine, first test the program without moving
the machine axes.
During testing, ShopTurn checks the program for the following
inadmissible conditions:
Geometric incompatibility
Missing data
Non-executable instruction sequences and jumps
Violation of working area
ShopTurn automatically detects syntax errors when it is loading a
program in "Machine Auto" mode.
Whether ShopTurn executes auxiliary functions (M and H functions)
during the program test is dependent upon the machine
manufacturer’s settings.
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
The following functions can be used during the program test:
Stop execution with "Programmed Stop" (see Sec. "Controlling the
program run")
Graphical display on the screen (see Sec. "Co-illustrating before
machining the workpiece")
Load a program in "Machine Auto" mode (see Sec.
"Starting/stopping machining").
Press the "Prog. Cntrl." softkey.
Program

Press the "Program test" softkey.
Cycle Start
Press the "Cycle Start" key.
The program is tested without traversing of the machine axes.
Program

Press the "Program test" softkey again to deactivate test mode on
completion of the program. (The softkey is deactivated again.)
