MEM The memory mode is the mode used when running the machine and making a part. The
active program is shown in the Program Display Pane. Keys in the memory mode line
reflect different ways of running a part in memory. When the keys to the right are
depressed they will show up highlighted in black on the bottom right of the CRT.
SINGLE
BLOCK When depressed SINGLE BLOCK is highlighted in black and will appear on the bottom of
the CRT. When the machine is in SINGLE BLOCK mode only one block of the program is
executed every time the cycle start button is depressed. Used when first test running a
program or temporarily stopping a program when it is running.
DRY RUN Used to check machine movement without cutting a part. In dry run the machine runs at
one feed rate. With the availability of graphics which show visually what the machine
tool path is this mode is rarely used.
OPTION
STOP When OPTION STOP is depressed program will stop at any M01 which is in the program.

operator may put machine in op stop mode to check dimensions after every tool has
completed cutting.
BLOCK
DELETE When this button is depressed any block with a slash (/) in it is ignored of skipped.
