Program Saving
When you create programs with the MILLPWR
G2
, they can be saved
within MILLPWR
G2
's User folder, on a USB device, or a network
location.
MILLPWR
G2
will retain a program in memory so it is not lost in the
case of a power failure.
Programs can be organized in MILLPWR
G2
, on a USB device, or a
network location; or in personalized folders that the operator can
create.
Saving a Program
A new blank program can be saved prior to having any program
steps added, a newly created set of program steps can be saved as
a new program, or an existing program can either be saved as a new
program by replacing the current name, or save the existing
program.
To save the current active program, select the Save
soft key. The keyboard will popup with the Save key
highlighted. Press the ENTER key. A prompt will ask to
overwrite the existing program. Press the Yes
softkey.
The keyboard will automatically be displayed with the current program
name highlighted in the keyboard display window (see "Keyboard" on
page 17).
The Save/Discard key is also available to quickly save a program, or
discard any changes made since the last time it was saved.
Press the Save/Create soft key to save the program
with its current name, or enter a new name for the
current program to create a new program.
A name can not be longer than 60 alphanumeric
characters. The MILLPWR
G2
displays program names as
they were entered. No two programs can have the same
name.
The program’s graphic preview is updated whenever the
program is saved. In order for the new graphic preview to
be created correctly, the program must not have any
errors. The operator must allow the program graphics to
finish drawing the program before pressing any keys.
