tool
nn

Manual data input allows you to enter data that can be executed on a line-by-line basis instantly, without
having to use the EDIT and MEM modes. In this control, MDI is actually a scratch pad memory that can
execute many lines of instruction without having to disturb your main program in memory. The data in MDI will
be retained even when switching modes or when in power off.
Editing with MDI is the same as memory editing.
The MDI mode also allows for manual operation of the coolant, spindle, and tool changer.
A program in MDI can be saved as a normally named program in memory by placing the cursor at the begin-
ning of the first line (press HOME), typing
Onnnnn
(new program number), then press ALTER. This will add
that name to the program list and clear MDI.
The entire MDI program may be cleared by pressing the ERASE PROG key while in MDI.
A fast way to select a tool is to type
Tnn
and, instead of INSERT, press either ATC FWD or ATC REV. This will
directly select that tool.
When the Parameter 57 flag DOOR STOP SP is set to 1, the maximum spindle speed is 750 rpm with the
doors open.
