Run Menu

Run»Restart (Shift F5)

Stops post-processing and rewinds the CL file to the start. Debugging breakpoints are remembered if the “Remember breakpoints between sessions” checkbox is selected in the Breakpoint Manager. Changes made to Execute and Trace states of macros in the Macro Manager are not remembered.

Run»Play (F5)

Continues processing after it has been paused.

Run»Pause (F6)

Pauses processing.

Run»Step (F7)

Pauses processing after the next line of trace output is written to the trace window that currently has focus. Clicking with the left-mouse button in a trace window is a shortcut for the Step feature.

Run»Fast (F8)

Continues processing after it has been paused, hiding the full display window and showing instead the smaller progress window. The progress window requires much less CPU to update than the full display window. Use the Fast-forward function to more quickly advance through the CL file from one point of interest to another. Break-point checking remains enabled when the progress window is active. The “More Details” button on the progress window can be pressed to restore the full display window.

Run»Details

This toggle affects the stepping and display of NC program data in the Output window. When Details are not activated, a Step in the Output window completes when a new block of NC program code is output. When Details are activated, a Step in the Output window completes each time register data is written to the tape buffer.
