Note 
•  Empty positions need not be specified. 
•  Predefined status displays can be disabled in the HEADER.INI file in the OEM 
or USER directories with the value <empty>, e.g., 
ChanStatFeedStopSpindleStop = <empty>. 
•  The complete HEADER.INI file is reproduced in Section 3.7. 
 
16 display positions 
There are 16 display positions defined in the program status line (header), where 
each SINUMERIK icon occupies two positions: number + icon.

The SINUMERIK icons are permanently assigned to an output position. A section 
is created in the HEADER.INI configuration file for each position used.

first, third and fifth display position.
