If the channel number is not specified, then the spindle status for the current channel is
displayed. If the channel is changed, the display is updated accordingly.
Configuring in the HEADER.INI
The assignment of the cross-channel status display is defined in the HEADER.INI file. It can
optionally be configured with SINUMERIK and user icons.
Note
Empty positions need not be specified. Predefined status displays can be disabled in the
HEADER.INI file in the OEM or USER directories with the value <empty>, e. g.
ChanStatFeedStopSpindleStop = <empty>.
The cross-channel status display and the use of the USER/OEM icons are mutually
exclusive; i.e. either "cross-channel status display" or "USER/OEM icons" can be configured.
The complete file is to be found in Section HEADER.INI.
Example with 16 display positions:
There are 16 display positions defined in the program status line (header), where each
SINUMERIK icon occupies two positions: icon.
6.3 '5< 529 6%/ 0 0 '5) 357
Figure 4-1 Program status line with 16 positions
The SINUMERIK icons are permanently assigned to an output position. A section is created
in the HEADER.INI configuration file for each position used.

These displays always have the predefined channel or spindle number.
Example 2 with SINUMERIK icons:
The status displays for 2 channels and 1 spindle should always be output at the first, third
and fifth display position.
