MDI MODE	the MDI mode
	Appearance of

When this operating mode is active, it will be indicated at the top right side of the general status bar.

This mode may be displayed with several screens. The current screen and the total number of available screens are shown at the upper right hand side of the general status bar.

Switching between the different screens is done by pressing the MDI mode accessing key. The screen selection is rotary in such a way that when pressing this key on the last screen, it shows the first one of the operating mode.

Standard configuration

The standard configuration of this work mode, described in this manual corresponds to the one supplied by Fagor. In some cases, the manual shows a sample screen, instead of that of the CNC in order to make it easier to understand.

These screens may be customized by the machine manufacturer changing its contents as well as its appearance. They may also remove certain screens or add some of their own.
