Additional information
A part program selected in the NC can generally only be edited when
the channel is in the reset state. When a part program is selected and
the relevant channel is in the "Channel Reset" state, the program can
be fully edited.
The end of block character is not displayed as "
L
F
"; instead it is
displayed as "¶".
Please note:
It is possible to edit a program both directly in the NC and on the hard
disk in the ASCII editor. How programs are saved on the hard disk is
determined by settings.
Sequence of operations
The following functions are fully enabled in the Program and Services
operating areas but only partially in the Machine operating area.
In the Machine operating area, the ASCII editor is called via the
program editor, in Services, by selecting a file in the file manager.
You have selected the file you wish to edit in the directory
and pressed the "Enter" key,
the vertical softkey bar changes. Your selected file is opened in the
text editor.
