Modes of Programmed Operation
There are two modes to run a program:
Automatic Mode: Runs a program automatically, without pausing.
Single-Step Mode: Runs a program one block at a time.
The display for these modes resemble the Manual screen. The 3500i
defaults to Auto when Program Run is selected.
Select a program from the Program Manager. Refer to
Chapter 5, "Selecting a Program To Run" on page 98.
With the program selected, touch the Program to Run
button to activate the selected program as the one to
be run.
Switch to the Program Run mode by pressing the
Program Run button in the top menu bar.
When Program Run is selected, whether in Auto, or Single Step
mode, the program will start at the first block in the program.
A program can be started at any block in the program by using the
Block Search feature. See “Block Search” on page 267.
Auto mode
Select the Auto button to run a program in Automatic Mode. If already
running a program in single step, touch the Auto button to switch to
Auto mode.
The Auto Mode is the 3500i's production mode. All or any part of a
program can be executed in the Auto Mode.
Verify all programs in Draw before you run them. Refer to
Chapter 8, "Viewing Programs" on page 254.
