Program Remainder Calculation

Hello,

When running an MPF the counter for the program will begin to count, however, the Program Remainder Calculation will not display any progress. I seen this in the manual;

Program remainder Here you can see how long the current program still has to run. In addition, you can follow how much of the current program has been completed in percent on a progress bar. The first program execution differs in the calculation of the additional program executions. When a program is executed for the first time, the progress is estimated based on the program size and the actual program offset. The larger the program and the more linear that it is executed, the more precise the first estimate. This estimate is very inaccurate as a result of the system for programs with steps and/or subprograms. For each additional program execution, the measured overall program execution time is used as basis for the program progress display.

What is needed to be activated for this to work? Thank you in advance for any help!

..and we were looking at what exactly?
I feel like a caveman that has been handed a cell phone.
Then it starts ringing.
Make it stop by hitting it with a stone?!

Hey qwazee, Thank you for generously taking time out of your day to respond in such a productive manner. I was under the impression the forum was to help others, I wouldn't be here if I knew exactly what I needed to do. Was there more information I could provide in order to help facilitate the question? If so, what information would you suggest trying to supply in order to do so? I'm sure in this instance I would like to receive help just as much as you enjoy giving it.

I am sorry for my inconsiderate conduct.
Please review the following questions:

• What is "MPF"? Is it "mean part failure"?
  
  
• Did your company build the machine?
  Who did?
  
  
• What type of machine is this?
  Is it a CNC machine?
  
  
• Which Siemens components are involved in the issue?
  What is the part numbers?
  
  
• Do you have access to the software programs
  that runs on the components that control the machine?
  
  
• Which company do you represent?
