Note
The cycle is provided with new functions that are not on earlier software versions.
Consequently certain parameters in the screen form (<NUM>, <RAD>, <INDA>) are no
longer displayed. Multiple slots on one position pattern can be programmed using "MCALL"
and calling the desired position pattern, e.g. HOLES2.
