3.2.3.3 "BLOCK SEARCH"

The "BLOCK SEARCH" function allows entry into a program at any desired point. In the
"Block search" display, you enter the program and the block number.
A block search is also possible in nested subroutines.Enter in the main program the number of
the block in which the subroutine call is programmed. After this, enter the subroutine number,
the pass count, and the block number of the subroutine.
During the block search operation, the same calculations are carried out as in normal program
operation although the axes are not traversed!
Output of the auxiliary functions during "block search"
Depending upon the setting made at the time of installation, the H-, M-, S-, and T- functions
are output either completely or in part or they are fully suppressed.
