You can rename a part program in three ways:
-
Press the PAGE BACK key past the first event until you are at Event 0 and the
prompt for Program Part Number. Enter the new part number and press SET.
-
Exit the Program Mode by pressing Mode and then re-enter it. You will have an
opportunity to rename it then.
-
Rename it in the Program In/Out Mode. After pressing the PROG IN/OUT key,
simply enter the new part number and press SAVE.
If the previous part program is already stored on the system internal storage it will remain in
storage under the previous part number with the same information it had the last time it was
stored.
9.5
Saving Changes to a Program
If a program is opened from storage and changes are made, the program must be
stored again in Prog In/Out Mode for the changes to be preserved in the stored copy.
Programs in current memory may be changed and run with the changes, but unless
they are saved again, the changes made will be lost when the program is cleared from
current memory. If you intend to keep the changes made to your program it is a good
practice to store the program occasionally in case a power loss causes the program to
be ejected from current memory.
9.6
Erasing an Entire Program
To erase an entire program from
current memory, go to the Program In/Out Mode and press
ERASE CUR. You will be prompted "Are you sure you want to erase this program?" You may
want to store the program before you clear it from current memory. If it is not stored,
pressing YES will permanently erase the program.
To erase an entire program from the internal
storage, input the part number and then press
DELETE. Programs in current memory will not be affected by this operation. You could
erase a part number on the internal storage and the program in current memory will remain
in current memory, even if it has the same part number as the one just erased.
Programs in current memory will automatically be erased when another program is
retrieved from storage.
