QuickCheck and active program graphics function similarly. They both
plot tool paths. The following section describes how to use both types of
graphics and distinguishes how they differ.
Use the QuickCheck with graphics feature to test a program for correct
syntax and to visually check if the tool path plotted by the part program is
correct. No actual axis motion takes place during QuickCheck. The
QuickCheck with graphics feature is identical to the QuickCheck feature
described in chapter 8 with the exception that there is an added graphics
capability. Using the graphics feature is optional with QuickCheck;
programs can be checked as described in the QuickCheck section without
using graphics. QuickCheck also lets you single-block through the part
program.
Use the active program graphics feature to plot the actual tool path of a
program on the screen that is executing in either the axis inhibit, dry run,
or part production mode. The graphics feature is optional and you do not
need to use it when you run a program.
