· You can use the editor as standard to edit the instructions in part
programs in G code, keywords, etc. The editor is turned into a
"dual editor" by displaying 2 windows with part program
instructions side by side".
How to use the editor with 2 work panes is described in
Section 6.7 "Program relationship in the dual editor".
· As an option, the editor can be used with extended functions. The
extended functions allow you to process technology-oriented
program steps which are displayed with special icons in the editor
for each step type.
Steps are the following:
- Groups of individual instructions: G codes,
vocabulary words etc.
- Synchronization instructions (e.g. WAITM )
- Cycles
- Contour definitions
The advantages are:
- Improved readability of programs
- Operations based on steps (copy, paste, delete etc.)
- The dual editor allows transparent, straightforward use of
synchronization instructions in different programs.
- Step display provides the conditions for using multi-channel
step editors (Multi Channel Step Editor, MCSE)
- Recompilation from step to DIN code, contour definition and
cycle display
Step representation is described in
Section 6.6 "Representation in the step editor".
