When you write a part program on the control, you must first enter
a program name. The control saves the program to the internal
memory as a file with the same name. The control can also save
texts and tables as files.
The control provides a special file management window in which
you can easily find and manage your files. Here you can call, copy,
rename and erase files.
With the control you can manage and save files up to a total size of
2 GB.
Depending on the setting, the control generates backup
files with the extension *.bak after editing and saving of
NC programs. This reduces the available memory space.
