CALLING A PRODUCT
This operation seeks a product in the internal memory and place it into the
work memory.
Calling a product is possible from all pages on which the cursor can be
placed on the P or CODE field.
Attention: The called product "erases" the product already in the work
memory. Pay attention to save, if necessary, the current product
before calling another product.
Introduce the product number in the P field or the code number in the
CODE field.
Leave the cursor on the field which has been programmed just now.
Press
.
The product requested is then copied into the work memory (the
original of this product is, of course, conserved in the internal mem-
ory).
SAVING A PRODUCT
This operation is used to permanently save a product located in the work
memory.
Saving a product is possible from all pages on which the cursor can be placed
on the P field.
It should be noted that after saving the product remains present in the work
memory.
To save a product proceed as follows:
If you wish to give a drawing number or name to the product, fill in
the CODE field. This operation is optional.
Enter the number of the product in the P field.
Leave the cursor in the P field.
Press the
key.
If the system displays the message EXISTS, choose another number.
If you wish to save a product under a number which already exists (e.g. after
modifying a product), the product bearing that number must first be deleted
in the internal memory.
NB: Attention, the N° 998 and 999 are reserved for special functions.
998 for the temporary storage of the work memory contents during PC
<-> DNC transfer.
999 for total deletion of the internal memory (see page 20).
