3.8 Editing a Multi-part System Program

The parameter "#1285 ext21/bit0" (Multi-part system program management) sets this function valid or invalid.
This function can be used when [Memory] is selected as a device.

3.8.1 Multi-part System Simultaneous Program Editing

When the parameter "#8977 Multi-$ simul edit" is set to "1" (valid), if you perform the operation (*1) to open a machining
program in NC memory on the edit screen, the specified machining program of the displayed part system in the currently
selected editing area and the machining program (*2) of the same name in another part system in the deselected editing
area are opened simultaneously in the right and left panes.
(*1) To open a machining program, follow the steps shown below. The details on each operation are described in the table
later.
Select menu [Edit] - [Open] to open an existing machining program.
Select menu [Edit] - [Open(New)] to create and open a new machining program.
The parameter "#8938 Edit-Not show Prg" is set to "0" and the display changes to the edit screen after operation search
has been carried out. Then, the searched machining program is opened automatically.
(*2) The machining program that satisfies the following conditions is opened in the deselected editing area.
Machining program in another part system of the same name as for the machining program that is to be opened in the
currently selected editing area
If any machining program that satisfies machining program conditions is not registered in the smallest part system
other than the currently selected part system, no machining program is opened in the deselected editing area. Then,
the machining program opened in the deselected editing area is closed.
Note
(1) If a machining program in NC memory is opened while the parameter "#8977 Multi-$ simul edit" is set to "1" (valid), the
machining program opened in the deselected editing area is closed.
(2) The multi-part system simultaneous program editing is also available for MTB macro program and MDI.
(3) When the machining program for multi-part system simultaneous program editing is opened while the display type is not
set to the multi-program display type, if the display type is changed to the multi-program display type, the machining
program that is in another part system, of the same name as for the machining program opened in the currently selected
editing area is displayed in the deselected editing area.
