Acu-Rite CNC 3500i User Manual

ACU-RITE 3500i

The 3500i also keeps track of the program machining time during the 
active program run session. When first entering into Program Run 
mode, both of the timers are initialized to a value of zero hours, 
minutes, and seconds. The timers begin when you press START, and 
will pause when you press STOP.

The Timer Inc: timer displays the current program runtime. Each time 
the active program completes, the Timer Inc: timer will reset.

The Timer Abs: timer displays an overall runtime for the active 
program run session. This timer will continue to increment with each 
consecutive run of the program.

The timers continue this pattern until Program Run mode is exited, 
which clears the running total. Upon re-entering Program Run, the 
timers will again be initialized to zero. Both timers begin when you 
press START, and will pause when you press STOP.

In Program Run mode, easy access to the machine Tool Table is 
provided by touching the Tool button on the bottom menu bar. This 
opens the normal Tool Table view, in which the usage behavior is the 
same as in Manual Data Input mode.

If the values in the Tool Table are changed from this view, 
the new values do not take effect until the corresponding 
tools/offsets are (re-)activated within the part program.
