Your machine tool builder can also define a tool-

change macro for the Test Run operating mode.

This macro will simulate the exact behavior of the

machine. Refer to your machine manual.

Execute test run

active (status S) to conduct a test run. Select the

desired tool table by using the file manager (PGM

MGT) in the Test Run mode of operation.
