3.12.1 Establishing the test-run feedrate 
 
 
 
 
Before machining a workpiece, test the program without moving the 
machine axes. For early detection of programming errors, the parallel 
drawing function is available to you. For this, you can use your own 
preset test-run feedrate (see Sec. "Parallel drawing before machining 
the workpiece"). 
    The feedrate can be changed while the operation is running.
