Creating a multi-channel program
For multi-channel machining, you require a job list with the following data:
● Program names
● Program type
● G code
● ShopTurn program
● Channel assignment
After you have created a job list, in the "multi-channel data" parameter screen, you can combine
the data from the G code and JobShop, which is then saved as cycle call in the job list. The
"multi-channel data" parameter screen is displayed as soon as at least one ShopTurn program
is contained in a job list.
Only programming G code programs
If the job list only contains G code programs, then you can deactivate the "multi-channel data"
function. To do this, set the following machine data:
MD51228 $MNS_FUNCTION_MASK_TECH
Bit 0

ShopMill programs.
