CERUN with Virtual Machine

Icam’s Control Emulator run-time CERUN emulates the MCD processing and movements of a CNC machine, based on information previously entered (using the QUEST developer’s module) about the machine and controller combination.

This chapter provides details about CERUN and its Virtual Machine interface, used for both machine simulation and in-process stock material removal simulation.

• “Starting CERUN” explains how to start CERUN from Icam Manufacturing Extractors, from the desktop as well as from the Windows command prompt.

• “CERUN Inputs and Outputs” describes the various inputs and outputs of Control Emulator, including input MCD files and the output verification listings.

• “Using CERUN with Virtual Machine” describes the operation of Control Emulator with Virtual Machine.
