Runtime Mode

Runtime mode is the editor state during simulation execution, with specific visual indicators.

2.12.1 What It Is

Runtime mode is activated when you start a simulation in the CNC editor. The interface shifts to a read-only state during simulation execution, preventing program modifications.

2.12.2 Visual Indicators

During Simulation

During runtime (simulation is running), the background color of the editor changes slightly to indicate that it is in runtime mode. A gray line marks the current block being processed.

Error State

If the interpreter detects an error, you will see an alarm message and the editor will go back to normal mode, allowing edits. The problematic block receives a red wavy line so you can easily find it and correct the error.

Interrupted Execution

If you stop the execution (simulation) of a CNC program before it is done, a yellow square symbol indicates the last executed block.

2.12.3 State Summary

State	Indicator	Editing Allowed
Running	Different background + gray line on current block	No
Error	Red wavy line on error block	Yes
Interrupted	Yellow square on last block	Yes
