Calling the editor
● 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.
Note
● 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.
● Exit the program correction mode using the "Close" softkey to return to the "Program
manager" operating area.
