● The editor is started via the "Program correction" softkey in the "Machine" operating area.
You can directly change the program by pressing the <INSERT> key.
● The editor is called via the "Open" softkey as well as with the <INPUT> or <Cursor right>
key in the "Program manager" operating area.
● The editor opens in the "Program" operating area with the last executed part program, if
this was not explicitly exited via the "Close" softkey.
Please note that the changes to programs saved in the NC memory take immediate
effect.
If you are editing
on a local drive or external drives, you can also exit the editor without
saving, depending on the setting. Programs in the NC memory are always
automatically saved.
