In the RUN mode, you have complete control of all condition parameters (ON, OFF,
IP,,HP,MA etc.) while running a part. However, when you start changing these
parameters, remember that you will be also changing important attributes of what the
condition will do (accuracy, finish, size, etc.).
1) “RUN” a program.
2) Press the soft key under the condition parameter you wish to change (parameter
will highlight in blue).
3) Type the new parameter value.
4) Press the soft key under the condition parameter (again) to enter it.
Note: If condition change in the “SET” screen is 0 any changes made are not saved (the
next time this C condition is called, the original setting returns). If condition set is on 1,
then the condition file changes.
When condition change is on 1, the change is only made to the RAM. When the machine
is rebooted, the condition file on disk is loaded to memory (original file). So if you want
the change to be permanent, then save the condition file using the “EDIT”,“FILE” screen.
