In "MDI" mode (Manual Data Input mode), you can enter G-code commands or standard
cycles block-by-block and immediately execute them for setting up the machine.
You have the option of loading an MDI program or a standard program with the standard
cycles directly into the MDI buffer from the program manager; you can subsequently then
edit it.
You can save programs, generated or modified in the MDI working window, in the program
manager, e.g. in a directory specifically created for the purpose.
You require the "Extended operator functions" option to load and save MDI
programs (for 828D).

"Search" softkey and enter the required search term in the search di
a-
sh to search for a specific file.
The place holders "*" (replaces any character string) and "?" (re-

Select the program that you would like to edit or execute in the MDI
window.
The window closes and the program is ready for operation.
