When changing the value of some parameter on the PAL display page, part
program execution is not typically interrupted. If some data that is used in
a currently executing part program is changed the control will handle that
data in the following manner:

If the parameter altered is used in the currently executing program block,
that value will not be activated until the following block (unless a cutter
compensation value is being altered).

If the parameter is altered in a block that is within the controls look ahead
range (refer to chapter 22 for details on block look ahead) then the look
ahead blocks are re-setup and the new parameter value is incorporated in
them (unless a cutter compensation value is being altered).

If a cutter compensation value is being altered the control will not re-setup
any blocks in the block look ahead. If the modified value is currently
active the block look ahead buffer is re-setup with the new offset value. If
the modified value is not currently the active value the control will display
an error message.

The 9/Series control is equipped to display all screens, softkeys, and
messages in multiple languages. Functionality of the 9/240 language
function is somewhat different than other 9/Series controls.

These control types are capable of displaying two languages. Your system
installer selects the languages and the order in which they are displayed.
Refer to your system installers documentation for details on which
languages your system supports. The default languages are English and
German.
