Clear program soft key
This soft key provides a quick method to clear the current loaded
program. It does not provide an option to save before exiting.
Its function is meant to quickly clear a program (e.g. once it has
been run and is no longer needed), so that a new program can
be loaded, or a blank program is available, or return to DRO mode
without having a program loaded. If the program has been edited
the operator is asked to confirm the Clear operation. Save program
changes before using Clear. All changes are lost and cannot be
recovered.
Press the Clear Program soft key to close the
program
