[ming035]

I operate PUMA 400L, how to use the graph check to check the program. I turn to MEM- GRAPH, and then can not find exec or head something.
Please help me, thank you.

It could be just optional feature, eventhough the Graph button is there but I won't do anything when hit it. If the machine bought brand new check with your manager and have them take a look at the invoice see the option is add in.

I believe you can have the graphics display while the machine is moving, but not preview. You might be able to MDI in an M17 (Machine Lock ON), run the graphics in Memory mode, then MDI in an M18 (Machine Lock OFF). You'll have to re-home the machine afterwards.

Using the 0i terminology, there is a difference between "graphic display" and "dynamic graphic display". The second one is an option which allows us to see the simulation without tool movement. I had to pay for getting this option activated.

If this option is not there, and you want to check the simulation without tool movement, use machine lock key or PROGRAM TEST MODE. The problem with these methods is that you would need to re-home / cycle power every time to display the correct tool position.
