Operation of the text editor is similar to that of editors known from the PC.
Enter the desired data using the ASCII keyboard and press <Enter> to move
to a new line. Move the cursor with the cursor keys (▲, ►, ▼, ◄).
Search function
The <Find> (F3) function allows searching for text passages (e.g., block num‐
ber, positions) in the open file. The <Next> (F4) or <Pre> functions position
the cursor to the next or previous search result.
Shortcuts
Useful shortcuts are available for the text editor. The related function is exe‐
cuted when both keys are simultaneously pressed on the control panel:
●
<Ctrl>+<Home> → positions the cursor to the beginning of the file
●
<Ctrl>+<End> → positions the cursor to the end of the file
●
<Ctrl>+<Del> → deletes the line where the cursor is placed
●
<Ctrl>+<Ins> → inserts a blank line at the cursor position
Editing functions
The <Edit> (F2) function opens another F-key row providing copy, cut and
paste editing functions. These functions can only be used within the open file.
File management
All NC programs and other user data, e.g., diagnostic texts, are stored in
ASCII files in the file system of the IndraMotion MTX micro.
Fig. 10-8:
File system navigator (13VRS)
Open the <Program> operating area to create new files or edit existing files.
The navigator is opened automatically, as shown in the previous figure. Oper‐
ation of the navigator is similar to that known from the PC programs. The left-
hand window shows the file system in a tree, and the right-hand window
shows the files of the currently selected directory. The bottom bar displays
the current directory and can be used to enter, e.g., a file name.
Selecting a directory
To select a directory, move to the file tree by pressing <TAB>. Wait for 2s or
press <Enter> to open the directory node (+). Select the desired directory us‐
ing the cursor keys (▲, ►, ▼, ◄). The right-hand window automatically shows
the contents of the directory.
Creating a new program
Press <New> (F2) to create a new program after having selected the directo‐
ry. Then press <NCProg> (F3) to open the text editor for an NC program.
