Operation Mode: Offline or Online
SyncPos is called up by MCT10 in Offline or Online
mode depending, if MCT10 has a connection
established to the drive. The selection of Offline or
Online operating mode as well as the interface
setting is done by MCT10 at start-up of SyncPos and
can not be changed while SyncPos is running.

Opening SyncPos in MCT10 Mode
In MCT10 mode you cannot start up SyncPos as
usual with "START"
→
"PROGRAMS"
→
"SYNCPOS", but it is opened automatically by
selecting a program file (*.m) or a configuration file
(*.cnf) via the MCT10.
MCT10 starts SyncPos, transfers the selected file
name to it and opens this file. It is possible to open
up multiple instances of SyncPos via the MCT10 file
selection.
MCT10 also configures the language and interface
settings of SyncPos.

Closing SyncPos in MCT10 Mode
Manual Closing
SyncPos can be closed by the menu item "FILE"
→
"EXIT PROGRAM" or the Exit button.
Automatic Closing
SyncPos is automatically closed in case of exit the
program editor as well as when a possible opened
configuration file in the CAM Editor is closed by the
user. The reason for this is, that any file handling has
to be done via MCT10 and there is no possibility to
open up a new or existing file in SyncPos, if running
in MCT10 mode. So, it isn’t necessary to keep
SyncPos active, if all files are closed.

File Handling
MCT10 is responsible for the handling of SyncPos
program files (*.m) as well as SyncPos configuration
files (*.cnf). This means that files can only be crea-
ted, opened up, renamed or printed via MCT10.
There is no file selection possible in SyncPos run-
ning in MCT10 mode. MCT10 commands SyncPos to
open up the file selected by the user via the MCT10.
Due to the fact that file handling is strictly restricted
to MCT10, there are some menu items and functions
of SyncPos disabled.

The SyncPos Window in MCT10 Mode
MCT10 Operation Mode: Online
The CAM-Editor menu in the title bar and most of the
icons in the symbol bar are disabled:
The "CAM EDITOR" can not be opened up by
SyncPos running in MCT10 mode, but it is always
opened up automatically, if a configuration file (*.cnf)
is selected for editing via MCT10 or if the program
contains a cnf-file.
The icons "NEW FILE", "FILE OPEN", "PRINT" and
the "CAM-EDITOR" are disabled, too. See the follo-
wing description, how to create a new file, open and
save files.
MCT10 Operation Mode: Offline
In operation mode offline all functions, which require
access to the drive, can not be used. There are
some more menu items disabled:
"CONTROLLER" menu
There is no connection to the drive possible. It can
not be configured or commanded via SyncPos.
"TESTRUN" menu
There is no connection to the drive possible. So,
there is no possibility for a testrun.
"CAM-EDITOR" menu
The CAM editor can not be opened up by SyncPos
running in MCT10 mode, but it is always opened up
automatically, if a configuration file (*.cnf) is selected
for editing via MCT10 or if the program contains a
cnf-file.
