from the drop-down menu or the right-click menu.
To run an entire program
3. Select
Run ->Program
from the drop-down menu or the right-click menu.
4. Before the path runs, the user must select “Wet”, “Dry” or “Virtual Tool 0”. The name
for the third option will be the name of Virtual Tool 0.

activate the tool(s). “

path with the teach tool at “
Virtual Tool 0” Z, as defined in Machine Parameters instead of
the run tool.

Important Reminders
• To Insert Code – When PathMaster® programming functions are used to insert code,
the code is inserted above the current highlighted location on the screen. The
operator must make sure the new path is put in the correct position.
• To Insert Tool Functions – Commands to move the tools are NOT automatically
inserted into the path programs. If a tool must change position (up/down, rotary)
the correct function must be inserted manually with the Tool programming
function. Refer Section 2.9.
• To Download Files – The operator must activate the EMERGENCY STOP button when
downloading files to the controller.
