The input entered on the easyE4 device will be overwritten every time a
program is transferred. This means that in order to always have the
coordinates available on the device, the coordinate information must be
stored in easySoft 8 for the program. To do this, you can transfer the mod-
ified program to easySoft 8 and save it there if you want to apply this
information to the location data in the project.
