Mid-program startup (block scan)
With the RESTORE POS AT N feature (block scan) you can start a part 
program at any block you desire. The TNC scans the program blocks 
up to that point. Machining can be graphically simulated. 
If you have interrupted a part program with an INTERNAL STOP, the 
TNC automatically offers the interrupted block N for mid-program 
startup.
If the program was interrupted by one of the conditions described 
below, the TNC saves the point of interruption.
EMERGENCY STOP
Power interruption
Control software crash
After you have called the mid-program startup function, you can press 
the soft key SELECT LAST N to reactivate the point of interruption and 
approach it with an NC start. After switch-on the TNC then shows the 
message NC program was interrupted.
The RESTORE POS AT N feature must be enabled and 
adapted by the machine tool builder. Refer to your 
machine manual.
Mid-program startup must not begin in a subprogram.
All necessary programs, tables and pallet files must be 
selected in a Program Run mode of operation (status M).
If the program contains a programmed interruption before 
the startup block, the block scan is interrupted. Press the 
machine START button to continue the block scan.
After a block scan, return the tool to the calculated position 
with RESTORE POSITION.
Tool length compensation does not take effect until after 
the tool call and a following positioning block. This applies 
if you have only changed the tool length.
