Activate the copy of
the original MP file
for test purposes
8 Place the cursor on the working copy, e.g., TEST.MP.
8 Load this file into the editor.
8 When the END key is pressed, the selected MP file is activated (the iTNC 530
performs a reset, if necessary).
Later on the original MP file is reactivated in the same way.
Search machine
parameters
In case the number of the parameter is known:
8 Press the GOTO key and enter the number (without index).
8 Confirm with ENTER. --> The editor places the cursor at the requested parameter.
In case the name of the parameter is known (but not the number):
8 Press the SEARCH soft key and enter the name.
8 With the corresponding soft key, select whether capitalization shall be of importance or not.
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 the parameter:
8 Press the SEARCH soft key and enter the marking word.
8 With the corresponding soft key, select whether capitalization shall be of importance or not.
8 Press the EXECUTE soft key. --> The editor places the cursor to the marking word.
Edit and mark
machine
parameters
8 Place the cursor on the machine parameter to be changed.
8 Where it makes sense, set the editing mode to Insert or Overwrite.
8 Change the parameter.
8 Enter a semicolon after the modified parameter and subsequently an identification word (e.g.,
your name, company name).
In the program management, the active MP file has the entry M in the status column.
The name has not to be written as a whole.
INSERT is preset. The original values are thus retained.
For bit-coded parameters, however, the editing mode OVERWRITE is a possibility.
Mark the modified machine parameters so that later you can find them quickly again.
