Changing or Correcting Programs
In the Program Mode, you can easily correct mistakes or make changes to the program.
9.1
Deleting a Partially Programmed Event
If you wish to not program an event (or start over) after you have started to program,
press the DELETE
EVENT softkey and the screen will revert to the "Select Event"
prompt.
9.2
Editing Data while Programming an Event
All data is entered by pressing the appropriate numeric keys and pressing INC SET or
ABS SET. If you enter an incorrect number before you press INC SET or ABS SET you
may clear the number by pressing restore. Then, input the correct number and press
SET.
If incorrect data has been entered and SET, you may correct it as you are still
programming that same event by pressing the arrow up or arrow down keys to the
right of the LCD screen until the incorrect data is highlighted and shown in the
conversation line. Enter the correct number and SET. The ProtoTRAK KMX will not
allow you to skip past prompts (by pressing an arrow key) that need to be entered to
complete an event.
9.3
Editing Previously Programmed Events
From the Select Event screen you may press the arrow up key to the right of the LCD
screen and the program will move back one event. From that point, you will have the
following softkey options:
INSERT EVENT
allows you to insert a new event between the two shown on
the left and right side of the screen. When you press INSERT EVENT the screen
will revert to the Select Event screen and you may program the new added event
as you would any other. Subsequent events will be renumbered accordingly.
DELETE EVENT
allows you to delete the event on the right side of the screen.
Subsequent events will be renumbered accordingly.
PAGE FWD (Forward)
indexes the event forward by one.
PAGE BACK
indexes the event back by one.
To edit groups of events, go to Event 0, press the DELETE EVENTS soft key and input and
SET the first and last events to be deleted.
9.4
Changing a Part Number (making a copy of a program)
You may want to rename a part program, or make a copy of a program using a
different name. The latter may be useful if you have a new part to do that is similar to
a part that you already have programmed. Make a copy of the program by saving it
under a new part number and then make the changes.
