Time

Calculates the running time of the NC code in the editor. Starting at the beginning of the file, it will calculate the time and add to the total.

If the 'Insert Total at End' is checked, it will add comment lines at the bottom of the program with the total run time.

If the 'Insert Report After Every:' is checked it will insert a comment with the run time and segment time up to that point when it finds 'T' address, 'M6' code, or the entered string of characters, depending on which is checked.

When you know there will be extra time taken at a certain point in the program, like checking the part or tools, you can manually put in that extra time by adding a 'TTM' comment code line. That time will be added in when it is found. That way, the total time at the end of the program will reflect the actual running time.

See Configuration Time for how to adjust the time of certain functions.

This only operates on the entire file. If you want to find the time of a small section, you can run that section with the Plot Status dialog box open and look at the time displayed there.
