Operation
ditional code will go in front of, type in the data and press the Insert key. More
than one code, such as X, Y, and Z, can be entered before pressing Insert.
Address data is a letter followed by a numeric value. For example: G04 P1.0.
The G04 commands a dwell (pause) and the P1.0 is the length (1 second) of
the dwell.
Comments can be either alpha or numeric characters, but must be prefaced
with parentheses. For example: (1 second dwell). Comments can be a maxi
-
mum of 80 characters.
End of Blocks are entered by pressing the EOB button and are displayed as a
semicolon (;). These are used like a carriage return at the end of a paragraph.
In CNC programming an EOB is entered at the end of a string of program code.
An example of a line of code using the three types of commands would be:
G04 P1. (1 second dwell);
There is no need to put any symbols or spaces between the commands. A
space is automatically placed between elements for ease of reading and edit-
ing.
To alter characters, highlight the desired portion of the program using the arrow
keys or the jog handle, enter the replacement code, and press Alter.
To remove characters or commands, highlight the text and press Delete.
There is no save command, as the program is saved as each line is entered.

An MDI program can be converted to a numbered program and added to the
list of programs. To do so, cursor to the beginning of the program (or press

Searching the program
While in MDI, EDIT or MEM mode, the cursor up and down keys can be
used to search the program for specific codes or text. To search for particular
character(s), enter the character(s) on the data entry line (i.e. G40) and press
the cursor up or down keys. The cursor up key will search for the entered item
backwards (towards the start of the program) and the cursor down key will
search forward (towards the end of the program).
Deleting Programs
To delete a program, press LIST PROG. Use the cursor up or down keys to
highlight the program number, then press the ERASE PROG key. Press Y at
the prompt to confirm the deletion or N to back out. Or type in the program
number and press the ERASE PROG key; however, use this option carefully as
