Block History
The MDI block history allows the operator to record all cycles that are
programmed into the MDI to be retrieved or saved into a part program.
By default the recording of the MDI cycles is on and can be turned off
by toggling the Record button on the second set of menu bar MDI
buttons.
This block history can be cleared by touching the Clear History button
on the second set of menu bar buttons or saved into a part program
by touching the Save History button. When saving the history, the
operator is given the option to save it as a G-code/ISO program or
Conversational.
To view the current history, touch the Block History button on the
second set of menu bar MDI buttons.
From within this dialog individual cycles can be deleted by highlighting
the cycle in the list and touching the Delete button. The cycle form can
also be opened again for re-edit. Select a cycle, and/or re-run a cycle
by touching the Select button. Once the cycle form is brought back
up the operator can then follow the same procedure as the previous
section for running the cycle. Touch Close to exit the Block History
dialogue.
