Note
Identifying program errors
The error can only be identified if the appropriate program is displayed. If a WAIT mark
involves a channel to which a program is not assigned in the job list, then this is marked as
having an error.
If you have enabled the synchronized view, then the following symbols are displayed at the
top right in the program title bar:

Wait marks can also be used within blocks.
● Closed block
● Opened block
Determining program runtimes
After a simulation, the required processing time for the program blocks is displayed in the
editor. For multi-channel programs, the delay time is displayed at the wait points.
Spindle transfer between the channels
If you use the spindles alternating in several channels (e.g. main and counterspindle), then it
may be necessary to exit the active plane "Face C" (TRANSMIT) or "Peripheral C"
(TRACYL):

– If there is a wait mark within a closed block, the clock of this wait mark is displayed in
front of the block name.
In the synchronized view, the closed block is synchronized.
– If there are several wait marks within a closed block, then a clock is displayed in front
of the block name. It is yellow, if all clocks of the wait marks in the block are yellow,
otherwise it is red.
In the synchronized view, the closed block is synchronized to the last wait mark in the
block.
– If there is a wait mark, the clock is displayed in front of the wait mark.
In front of the wait mark, the clock is displayed in either yellow or red. The program is
synchronized at the wait mark.
– If there are several wait marks, the clocks are displayed in either yellow or red at the
wait marks. The program is synchronized at the wait marks.
Meaning
Synchronized view: Error
Errors were identified after enabling "synchronized view" or new
"synchronization" (e.g. wait marks not found in other programs).
Synchronized view: checked
No error was detected after enabling "synchronized view" or new
"synchronization".
