Check Syntax window¶

The Check Syntax window is accessed from the NC Program panel, or from the NC Program Review panel: NC Program listing area, by selecting Check Syntax, in the Utilities menu, or using (NC Program Syntax Check) in the icon bar in either of the windows.

The features in this window enable you to check the NC program displayed in the NC Program (Info) window for syntax errors.
