Editing Programs On Line
Chapter 5
5-2
This section provides information on how to select a part program for
editing. You can only edit part programs on line that you have stored in
control memory. If a part program is on tape or another storage device and
you must edit it on line, copy this program to memory as described in
chapter 9.
Important: You can edit programs that are selected as active for
execution. Edit operations being performed on an active program must be
exited before that program can actually be executed in automatic mode.
If an: is displayed to the left of the part program
name, it means that the program is currently:
A active
E open for editing
AE active and open for editing
To begin an edit operation on an active or inactive part program:
1. Press the
{PRGRAM MANAGE}
softkey. The program directory screen
appears (see Figure 5.1).
