Free contour programming using the "Contour" softkey
Note
When a contour is programmed in the input screens, the input field with the input focus is
highlighted by a dark background color. Once the input is acknowledged with "Accept
element" or "Cancel", you can navigate around the contour chain (left of the graphic) using
the ↑, ↓ cursor keys. The actual position in the chain is color-coded.
You can call the particular input screen form using the <Input> key and enter new
parameters.
