Activating a copy of
the original MP file
for testing
8 Place the cursor on the working copy, e.g., TEST.MP.
8 Load this file into the editor.
8 Press the END key to activate the selected MP file. (The iTNC 530 HSCI may carry
out a reset.) The original MP file is reactivated in the same way.
Searching machine
parameters
In case the number of the parameter is known:
8 Press the GOTO key and enter the number (without dot or blanks).
8 Confirm with ENTER. --> The editor places the cursor on the desired parameter.
In case the name of the parameter is known (but not its number):
8 Press the SEARCH soft key and enter the name.
8 With the corresponding soft key, select whether case sensitivity is to be considered.
8 Press the EXECUTE soft key. --> The editor places the cursor on the required text. If the associated
parameter is not the one you have been looking for, just press SEARCH and EXECUTE until it is
found.
If you have marked parameters:
8 Press the SEARCH soft key and enter the identification word.
8 With the corresponding soft key, select whether case sensitivity is to be considered.
8 Press the EXECUTE soft key. --> The editor places the cursor on identification word.
Editing and
marking machine
parameters
8 Place the cursor on the machine parameter to be edited
8 Set the editing mode to Insert or Overwrite, as it makes sense.
8 Edit the parameter.
8 Enter a semicolon after the edited parameter and subsequently an identification word (e.g., your
name, company name).
8 Place the cursor with the arrow key in the next line. --> The modified line is structured.
Note
In the program management, the active MP file is distinguished by the letter M in the status
column.
Note
The name does not have to be written in full.
Note
INSERT is preset; the original values are thus retained.
For bit-encoded parameters, however, the editing mode OVERWRITE is useful.
Note
Mark the modified machine parameters so that later you can find them quickly.
