MDI modes. This key can also be pressed to display the Quick Code editor when your in Edit. When

CNC program. The display is 40 characters wide and blocks that are longer than 40 characters are continued
on the next line of the display until an End-Of-Block (EOB) is entered, which is defined with a semicolon ( ; ),
for the end of a command line in a program.

With BACKGROUND EDIT, you may edit a program in memory while another program is running. BACK-
GROUND EDIT can be enabled or disabled with Parameter 57.

In order to see the programs in memory to select to background edit, the program list is available to view in
memory while a program is running. It is selected by pressing LIST PROG key while a program is running. The
program list will be displayed from the LIST PROG mode, but it will not allow you to select, send, receive, copy,
or erase programs from the list while a program is running in MEM mode. And you can then type in the program
number (

) that you wish to background edit, though you must then go back to the PRGRM display
where you need to see
ENTER Oxxx AND F4 FOR BG EDIT

The CYCLE START button cannot be used while in BACKGROUND EDIT. If the running program stops with an
M00, M01, or M30 stop, you must first exit BACKGROUND EDIT to be able to press CYCLE START to resume
