Limitations during program run
A graphical representation of a running program is not possible if the
microprocessor of the TNC is already occupied with complicated
machining tasks or if large areas are being machined. Example:
Multipass milling over the entire blank form with a large tool. The TNC
interrupts the graphics and displays the text ERROR in the graphics
window. The machining process is continued, however.
