Current Tool - Displays the current tool loaded in the machine tool. Note that Anaheim Automation’s LC software uses this setting for tool length compensation (see System Programming for more information).

Feedrate Override Buttons - Increases or decreases the feedrate on the machine as a percent of the programmed feedrate. During linear interpolation moves (G01) you can gradually change the feedrate using the Faster or Slower buttons. The Faster and Slower buttons are disabled during circular interpolation and rapid moves. When the machine is stopped, you can enter an exact percentage by either typing a value in the percentage text box or by choosing a value from the pull- down menu in the percentage text box. Both the programmed feedrate and the override feedrate are displayed in the text boxes to the right. Rapid moves are not affected by the feedrate override.

You can use the keyboard instead of the Faster/Slower buttons as follows:

Faster	Ctrl + Up Arrow Key
Slower	Ctrl + Down Arrow Key

Reset Button - Resets the current G-Code file to the first executable line and refreshes the Tool Path View Port.

Continuous / Step Radio Buttons - You can run the G-Code file in either Continuous or Step mode by selecting one of these two radio buttons. In Continuous mode, the G-Code program runs non-stop. In Step mode, the G-Code Program only executes one line at a time. You can switch between step and continuous modes while the machine is moving.

Start Button - Begins execution of the current line of the G-Code file. When in Step mode, execution will stop automatically at the end of the current line, or when the Feed Hold button is hit. When in Continuous mode, execution continues until the end of the program, or until the Feed Hold button is hit. If the
