Operating manual
6.2.1Program editing
The process of editing or modifying a program is the following:
1.Open the program at the editor or create a new program.
2.Use the cursor to select the block where the new blocks will be inserted. Edit the program blocks using the editing modes available.
3.Save the program so it can be modified or executed later on. This operation may be performed automatically as the program is being edited or if the editor has been personalized.
Available editing modes
Any of the various editing modes available may be used while editing a program. The available editing modes are:
CNC language
It is edited block by block and each one may be written in ISO language or in High level language.
When editing high level commands and depending on the type of command, the editor offers a list of available commands.
•Keying in "V" shows the list of CNC variables.
•Keying in "#" shows the list of CNC instructions.
•Keying in "$" shows the list of flow control instructions of the CNC.
In all of them, when keying the following letter of the variable or instruction name, the cursor of the list goes to the first command that starts with that letter. The [©][ª] keys may be used to move the cursor through the list of commands and the [ENTER] key to enter the selected command into the block that is being edited.
Conversational editor for canned cycles
To define machining and positioning canned cycles quickly and easily. This mode offers the following advantages:
•There is no need to know the canned cycle parameters.
•The CNC only lets entering the data being shown, thus avoiding any data entry errors when defining the cycles.
•The programmer is assisted at all times with help messages.
When done editing the cycle, the CNC generates the necessary blocks and it will add them to the program inserting them after the block indicated by the cursor.
Profile editor
To edit new profiles quickly and easily. The editor shows a graphic representation of the profile being defined.
After defining the profile data, the CNC generates the necessary blocks and it will add them to the program inserting them after the block indicated by the cursor.
TEACH-IN
It is basically the same as editing in CNC language, except when it comes to programming coordinates. This option displays the coordinates of each axis and lets enter them directly into the block indicated by the cursor.
