Editing Programs Online
Chapter 5
5-2
This section discusses how to select a part program for editing. Note that
only part programs that are stored in control memory may be edited online.
If a part program is on tape or other storage device and must be edited
online, copy this program to memory as described in chapter 9.
Important: You can edit both active and inactive programs. However,
keep in mind, that edit operations being performed on an active program
must be exited before that program may actually be executed in automatic
mode. Note that currently active part programs are shown with an A to
the left of the part program name. Programs currently open for editing
display an E to the left of the program name.
To begin an edit operation on either an active or inactive part program:
1. Press the {PRGRAM MANAGE} softkey. The program directory
screen is displayed (see Figure 5.1).
