Component counter
General A component counter function is provided in the "Documentation" menu item. Using the
part counter, consecutive numbers can be assigned to any desired parts or workpieces.
Each part can be precisely identified through the assigned number, e.g. when an error oc-
curs.

Defining the com-
ponent number
The component number can be any alphanumeric expression with a maximum length of
20 characters.
Entering separators ( . , - / ) allows the characters before the separator to be fixed. Then,
when the component number is increased, only the characters after the separator will be
incremented. The number of digits in a component number is determined by the number
of characters entered or the number of characters entered after a separator. If 3 characters
are entered, the component number will have 3 digits, i.e. from 0 to max. 999.
