Function
The block search function allows you to run the part program forward

You can use the "External without calc." softkey in the "Search
position" and "Search pointer" menus to start an accelerated block
search in programs that are executed from an external device (local
hard disk or network drive).
The search target can be determined:
• By directly positioning the cursor on the target block, or
• Specifying a block or line number
Block search sequence:
Only those programs and program parts which are needed in order to
reach the specified search target and to continue program execution
are transferred to the NC.

• "Execution from external source"
• Execution of EXTCALL instructions
