Operating modes
The active mode of operation is highlighted in the operating-mode tab.
The CNC PILOT differentiates between the following operating
modes:
 Machine—with the submodes:
 Manual (display: "Machine")
 Teach-in (Teach-in mode)
 Program Run
 Programming—with the submodes:
 smart.Turn
 Simulation
 ICP
 TURN PLUS: Automatic working plan generation (AWG)
 Tool management—with the submodes:
 Tool editor
 Technology editor
 Organization—with the submodes:
 User parameters
 Transfer
 User login
You can use the operating mode keys to switch between the modes.
The selected submode and the current menu position remain during
the mode change.
If you press the operating mode key in a submode, the CNC PILOT
switches back to the main level of the mode.
At some places, a dialog has to be ended in order to switch
modes (e.g. in the tool editor).
