4.1.5 MODIFYING BLOCK CONTENTS
If the currently selected block number is blinking (editing mode), press [CL] twice to quit
this mode.
When modifying the contents of a program block, the following cases may come up:
a)
We would like to change the value of a function.
Example, modify a coordinate value:
Current block: N000 G1.7.90 X100 F1000
New block: N000 G1.7.90 X250 F1000
* Select block N000 and press [RECALL]. The upper display blinks this block
number.
* Use the keys to position at function "X100".
* Press [CL]. The CNC erases the value of the function; but it keeps its indicator
character (X).
* Key in the desired value which, in this case, is "250".
* Press [ENTER] so the CNC assumes the new block.
b)
We would like to eliminate one of the functions defining the block.
Example, eliminate the X coordinate:
Current block: N000 G1.7 X100 Y20 F1000
New block: N000 G1.7 Y20 F1000
* Select block N000 and press [RECALL]. The upper display blinks this block
number.
* Use the keys to position at "X100".
* Press [CL] twice to clear the lower display.
* Press [ENTER] for the CNC to assume the new block.
c)
We would like to change a function.
Example, replace the X coordinate with Y:
Current block: N000 G1 X100 F1000 M33
New block: N000 G1 Y120 F1000 M33
* Select block N000 and press [RECALL]. The upper display will blink this block
number.
* Use the keys to position at "X100".
* Press [CL] twice so the CNC clears the lower display.
