3.1 Programming and Executing
Simple Machining Operations
The Positioning with Manual Data Input mode of operation is
particularly convenient for simple machining operations or pre-
positioning of the tool. It enables you to write a short program in
HEIDENHAIN conversational programming or in ISO format, and
execute it immediately. You can also call TNC cycles. The program is
stored in the file $MDI. In the Positioning with MDI operating mode,
the additional status displays can also be activated.
Positioning with Manual Data Input (MDI)
Select the Positioning with MDI mode of operation.
Program the file $MDI as you wish.
To start program run, press the machine START
button.
