F6 – Edit
This key causes the control to load the current job into a text editor for viewing and/or editing.
When editing, care must be taken to save the file and to quit and exit the text editor before running the file
(the current job). Modifying a file that is currently running as the current job is dangerous and will cause
unexpected results. It is best practice to not edit any files while the machine is moving.
WARNING
Editing a file (modifying and saving) while the machine is moving can cause
personal injury or machine damage.
Also, note that the C:\CNCM directory contains configuration files and binary data. DO NOT edit these
files. Doing so can cause loss of data and serious malfunctions.
WARNING
Do not edit configuration data located in the C:\CNCM directory. Doing so can
cause personal injury or machine damage.
