Expanding the Operator Interface (BE1)
4 Programming Support System

4.1 Objectives and programming support provided

The purpose of the programming support system is to assist programmers in
writing programs using the ASCII Editor.
The system provides the following standard tools for this purpose:
• Cycle support
• Free contour programming
• Blueprint programming
• Recompiling
• Simulation
References: /BA/, Operator's Guide
Customized user interfaces can also be created in the Programming support
system. These interfaces are configured using the ASCII Editor and the tools
provided by the Expand user interface system.
Note
For the sake of compatibility, the cycles support (//C...) function is still supported
by the description language used in earlier versions and not by the syntax of the
Expand user interface system.
