Storage of programs

4.   STORAGE OF PROGRAMS

This CNC allows the editing, simulating and executing of part-programs.

Each of these programs consists of the interlinking of elementary operations or cycles and/or blocks
edited in ISO code. The form of editing or defining said operations or cycles is explained in the
chapter on "working with operations or cycles".

This chapter explains how to operate with these part-programs and has the following sections and
subsections for this purpose.

List of programs stored

See the content of a  program ......................... See one of the operations in detail

Edit a new part-program......................... ....... Storage of an operation or cycle

Erase a part-program

Copy one part-program in another

Modify a part-program ..................................... Erase an operation

Move an operation to another position
Add or insert to a new operation
Modify an already existing operation
