4.3.19 Simulation»Display (Ctrl Alt D)<br />
Activates the Display dialog, which is used to change the HUD “heads-up” display settings. The<br />
heads-up display is a small status screen that floats above the simulation window. The position,<br />
content and appearance of the heads-up display are controlled from the Display dialog.<br />
Individual layout schemes can be saved in the windows registry by selecting Save As and<br />
entering a name. Changes to the currently listed scheme (in the Scheme drop-down) are saved<br />
when OK is pressed. A<br />
scheme can be removed<br />
from the registry by<br />
selecting the name in the<br />
scheme drop-down and<br />
then selecting Delete. The<br />
“Default” scheme cannot<br />
be changed or deleted.<br />
Select the Show Display<br />
check box to activate the<br />
heads-up display in the<br />
simulation window (the<br />
Ctrl D shortcut does the<br />
same when the Display<br />
dialog is not active).<br />
Select the Use default<br />
schemes in cycle check<br />
box to include the Default<br />
display when using the Ctrl D shortcut to cycle through each of the schemes in sequence. The<br />
following status information can appear in the heads-up display.<br />
� Tool number: The current tool ID or tool pocket number.<br />
� <strong>Machine</strong> axis: The linear and rotary axes controlled by CERUN and GENER.<br />
� Feedrate: The current feed interpolation rate or the keyword RAPID.<br />
� Motion type: A keyword describing the type of motion, e.g., LINEAR, CIRCULAR.<br />
� Active compensations: Fixture, length and diameter compensation settings.<br />
� Coolant: The current coolant status.<br />
� Spindle: The current spindle status and rpm.<br />
� Time: Elapsed machining time.<br />
� Channels: Current active channel and time.<br />
� Extra spindles: Additional information about spindles.<br />
� Extra channels: Additional information about channels.<br />
� Head number: The current head ID or head pocket number.<br />
� FPS: The simulation window display rate in the form “a / b”. The value “a” is the redraw<br />
speed in frames/second and is an indicator of graphic performance. The value “b” is actual<br />
screen updates/second and is an indicator of total model performance.<br />
